@dalias @quarknova I'm talking about contributing - this whole thread is about contributing.
If you are talking about something else, I'm happy to discontinue discussing.
@yoasif @quarknova The thread you replied into is about successfully getting a no-slop policy adopted.

@dalias @quarknova How is slop inserted into Wikipedia?

My genuine hope is that this can spark a broader change. Empower communities on other platforms, and see this become a grassroots movement of users deciding whether AI should be welcome in their communities, and to what extent. On their own terms.
A pushback against the #enshittification and forceful push of AI by so many companies in these last few years.
I completely agree. This is not just excellent news for en.Wikipedia, it's also a symbol of holding to a high intellectual standard for other communities, many who are tempted by #TyrannyOfConvenience arguments.

Kudos to all who participated in writing the guideline (especially Kowal2701) and the whole WikiProject AI Cleanup team, this was very much a group effort!
@quarknova Thank you - I had no idea this was happening and absolutely would have argued against AI slop on such an important and prominent source of information.

@quarknova I think that unfortunately, this policy is exactly what big tech wants - fresh training knowledge and training data from humans, which the tech companies are free to remix into new public domain works that are not protected by share-alike.
With this policy, Wikipedia demands that humans work for the bots for free, and the humans can't even take advantage of the bots to work against the theft of the commons.
@yoasif @quarknova man, screw the big tech, can we decide independently in what they want and do and exploit? This is about creating good wiki for humans.

@quarknova Wish I had seen this, I personally do not write in Wiki but yesterday I watched a video which brought up a kid asking if Abraham Lincoln's voice had been recorded.
I knew Edison's recorder was too late to make this happen but remembered that inventor Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville had made the first recording of a human voice in 1860. Google's AI doesn't mention it was possible but instead only mentions Edison. AI cannot seem to cross reference or info based on old data only.

@quarknova will do!
The vote is in two weeks, and I'm doing all I can to gather support for AI opposition with the petition I created.
Thank you for support!
@indutny @quarknova Can you please reply with a link, would love to sign and support.
