Speaking very generally, it's still conceding an amount of human intelligence and there are problems with it that are worth talking about, but it's a use of AI that at least defers to human judgment, and as long as users are still personally researching and writing their own edits I honestly don't hate it. Much.
it's mostly outsourcing attention, which is pretty acceptable for a large project like wikipedia.
Right - I won't call it a good thing to let people de-skill on reading comprehension skills, but they're donating their labour to a public benefit! I'm hardly going to scold them as if I was their professor.
my thought is mainly that there aren't enough hours in the day to read and check everything on wikipedia. there's a reason the scots vandalism went unnoticed so long, people just don't have the time.
That’s my main use for LLMs
personally i have separate linters, formatters and structure markers that don't raise the temperature of my apartment when in use, but you do you.
I agree here and this goes back before ai. Any automated thing is fine with humans in the loop but once you take them out is when the trouble starts.
