I can make something up for you.
You know, like, let's be a little more...
It's true.
But we know that we can't really use it to write Wikipedia entries or to even help that much.
Although there are areas where we are looking at, OK, like, you know, are there things that could do that would be useful to us?
So this summer I was talking to a French Wikipedia long time community member and she said, oh, yeah, I don't have time to edit much anymore.
But my hobby is I find broken links like a dead link.
It's gone for the websites moved or something like that in French Wikipedia on old pages.
I haven't edited a long time.
And I see what was that link supporting.
And then I go and I search and I find a new source and I add that.
I said, oh, what do you think?
What if you had a tool?
So finding a dead link, you don't need AI for that.
The link is dead, right?
So you find a dead link and then it could look at the article, see what the sentence before was, what was being supported by that.
Then it could go and read a bunch of sources, find something that looks like it's it and make a suggestion to you.
Like it could find two or three sources from known good quality sources and
And then all you got to do is click on it and confirm that it's right.
She's like, oh, wow, that would speed up my work quite a bit.
