They’re begging for donations and then turning around and wasting money on running AI? Wtf
This was exactly my thought. They pitched the donations as a way to prevent enshitification by external powers, and then they themselves start enshitification?
It’s also ridiculous because a lot of this is done by volunteers. It’s not like a company trying to cut costs by opting to use cheaper AI over more expensive human labor. This is adding cost to add AI.
Functionally wikipedia is perfect as it is. It doesn’t need to be molested by AI shit.
Exactly, it already does what people need it for.
On the other hand, it’s understandable that they’d act upon AI in some form since people are asking ChatGPT now instead of going to Wikipedia and finding the correct information they need for themselves.
