Remember When Wikipedia Was Considered Suspect? [View all]

[MineralMan]

I do. So, now, compare Wikipedia entries, which get edited and corrected by real human beings, with the random hallucinations that often appear when you ask AI bots questions. I pretty much rest my case.

All along, I have used Wikipedia as an initial source for answers or information. It is a starting point for me, most of the time. In most Wikipedia articles, down near then end, you'll find linked references to other sources, keyed to the main Wiki article. If you want to check something, you can use those links. You can do your own fact-checking if you don't trust Wikipedia's volunteer editors.

Sometimes, AI bots include links, too, to other information. Sometimes, it just makes shit up, including those links.

So is AI progress? I say "not."
