Wikipedia has a new initiative called WikiProject AI Cleanup. It is a task force of volunteers currently combing through Wikipedia articles, editing or removing false information that appears to have been posted by people using generative AI.

Ilyas Lebleu, a founding member of the cleanup crew, told 404 Media that the crisis began when Wikipedia editors and users began seeing passages that were unmistakably written by a chatbot of some kind.

    I have bad news for you. Literally every TV has ads now. Every. Single. One. That’s why I keep harping on Pihole. It blocks them.

      Not the commercial grade ones, like “hospitality” TVs. They’re more expensive, but they’re also intended to be a bit more reliable as well.

      I’m worried they’ll adapt the ads to not be blockable w/ Pihole.
