Against the spirit of the contributors? You know Wikipedia's founders have heavily criticized Wikipedia's blatant political biases, right?

Having LLMs edit encyclopedias, moderate forums and do everything else we rely on user moderation for today is the way of the future. They can be much fairer, more predictable, controllable and put you less at the mercy of the army of whackjobs that end up controlling sites like Wikipedia and Reddit. Musk is once again at the forefront of this. The big question is cost. Volunteers work for "free" (often sadly, "free" means in return for the ability to manipulate the public discourse). But GPUs do not, and Grokipedia has no ads.



"Can be" does a lot of heavy lifting here. LLMs have not proven their reliability anywhere afaik.


Neither have humans. On Wikipedia humans are worse than unreliable, they're deliberately trying to deceive you. But LLMs can be improved.


I think humans can also improve. I’m not sure I agree that LLMs have as big a potential as the hype-train would like..


It is weird to call Wikipedia editors "an army of whackjobs" in the same paragraph as praising Elon for his vision in bringing hallucinated truth to the masses.
