I wish this was merely a joke, but please consider downloading a #ZIM archive file of the pre-AI status of #Wikipedia from the Internet Archive (the "all_maxi" ZIM files before 2022 should be fine, but take up a lot of space).
Use Kiwix to browse it.
It might be your last chance to view Wikipedia content without "AI"-generated bullshit.

@katzenberger @dgar sorry for the dumb question but how does it work? how do you search for something specific?

Just for the record, and I do not know how this translates in practice, but this is what Wikipedia says they are doing with AI.

This is half of what they're saying: allowing editors to use "AI".
You can find the other half here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_AI_Cleanup
What they're saying here:
»The purpose of this project is not to restrict or ban the use of AI in articles, but to verify that its output is acceptable and constructive, and to fix or remove it otherwise.«
In other words, they're dreaming about having an "AI cleanup crew" that is capable of reviewing and fixing all "AI"-generated input.
Good luck with that.
As of today, I know only of the German Wikipedia expressly taking a stance against "AI"-generated text.
