It can do a passable job on a very big, famous topic, but anything slightly obscure and the hallucination problem is disastrous.

But at the same time, I'm very interested in how can we use this technology to support our community?

One idea is, you know, take a short entry and feed in the sources.

Maybe it's only got five sources and it's short and just ask the AI, is there anything in the entry that's not supported by the sources or is there anything in the sources that

that could be in wikipedia but isn't and give me a couple suggestions if you can find anything as i've played with that it's pretty okay it's it needs work and it's not perfect but if we react with just like oh my god we hate ai then we'll miss the opportunity to do that um and if we go crazy like oh we love ai and we start using it for everything well we're going to lose trust because we're going to include a lot of ai hallucinated errors and so on

Well, you know, this has been a question since they began.

We haven't seen any real evidence of that.

And I use AI personally quite a lot.

And I use it in a different way, though, different use cases.

How?

See, I like to cook.

It's my hobby.

I fancy myself as being quite a good cook.

And I will often ask ChatGPT for a recipe.

I also ask it for links to websites with recipes.

It sometimes makes them up, so that's a bit hilarious.

And I also suggest be careful using ChatGPT for cooking, unless you actually already know how to cook, because when it's wrong, it's really wrong.

But Wikipedia would be useless for that.

Wikipedia doesn't have recipes.

It's a completely different realm of knowledge than encyclopedic knowledge.
