My #Wikipedia request for comment just closed, finally banning #AI content in articles! "The use of LLMs to generate or rewrite article content is prohibited"

Kudos to all who participated in writing the guideline (especially Kowal2701) and the whole WikiProject AI Cleanup team, this was very much a group effort!

Whether you are concerned or not about the harm caused by the technologies pushed on us with the current AI Hype, I highly recommend watching this excellent interview by 404 Media's @samleecole with @alex and @emilymbender from the DAIR Institute: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwBZiuH-1QY

And I say "whether you are concerned or not" because this will affect you one way or another, whether you care about it or not. In fact, it very likely already does.

"We did this with #AI" has become a synonym for "We don't care if this is done well":

@emilymbender The AI companies are doing nothing to demystify the technology, presenting their product as something more than it really is to boost sales and investment. I doubt they waste a moment's concern about effects on the public, as long as they can say to their shareholders - "see this miraculous new technology? You should keep your money with us, because we're well ahead in the game."
When humans don't have words for something, they describe it in terms that are familar. Thats what we do. When marketing deliberately uses misleading terms and encourages unrealistic expectations, that's something different. I hold the companies marketing these products responsible for the harmful anthropomorphising and society should demand that they stop.
