Comment on Wikipedia is gauging interest for an extension that uses AI to see if any claim is cited on Wikipedia

  Presumably it would evaluate claims in the text without the user having to do the search. Sounds cool to me.

    It says the user has to highlight then click the extension.

    I can currently right-click and then click “Search on Wikipedia” in the context menu. I believe this works in both FF and chromium browsers.

    Fuck AI.

      I tried with your comment: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?go=Go&ns0=1&….

      Why doesn’t this work? If your complaint were valid, this should work.

      I prefer a floating button next to the text than having to set my default search engine to Wikipedia or downloading an addon that only adds it to the context menu, lol. I need to complete my unholy trinity of levitating context buttons

        And here I am going out of my way to disable any and all floating buttons.

  It could run the search in the background
