Bots, be gone. The internet’s favorite encyclopedia has officially banned its 260,000 human editors from using artificial intelligence to write articles — a major crackdown as so-called “AI slop” floods the web. The new policy, approved by volunteers at the Wikimedia Foundation’s flagship site Wikipedia, bars the use of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT from generating encyclopedic content, citing concerns over accuracy, sourcing and reliability.
