Not really an essay
[edit]I'd suggest {{Information page}}, since this is in the nature of a summary of the diversity of uses, and doesn't propose policy. Pharos (talk) 14:54, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
Done - Agree with your assessment. - Fuzheado | Talk 16:54, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
Article text generation
[edit]The information under "Article text generation" doesn't reflect how the community feels about this in my experience. As I understand it, using AI to generate article text is very strongly discouraged, including when it's checked for quality, and even competent editors will be scolded for trying. I suggest we remove anything that encourages using it for content writing, and maybe consider replacing it with more practical uses like consulting AI for copyediting suggestions.

- Agree 100% with TBUA. Anything coming out of an LLM should be considered unreliable by default. Leaving the door open for nonsensical hallucinations (sometimes based on made up sources) to be used on Wikipedia is unacceptable. Especially given how often Wikipedia is used as training data for LLMs, anything from a generative AI that makes its way into a Wikipedia article can make its way back into the LLM and lead to model collapse. There are so many reasons to prohibit writing articles using LLMs, I would advise caution even for copyediting. --Grnrchst (talk) 20:46, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
Following Wikipedia:Village_pump_(policy)/Archive_201#URLs_with_utm_source=chatgpt.com_codes, I have added detection for possible AI-generated slop to my script.
Possible AI-slop sources will be flagged in orange, thought I'm open to changing that color in the future if it causes issues. If you have the script, you can see it in action on those articles.
For now the list of AI sources is limited to ChatGPT (utm_source=chatgpt.com), but if you know of other chatGPT-like domains, let me know!
