    Yup. "Garbage in. Garbage out."

    Wikipedia has less errors per page than Encyclopedia Britannica.
    For some reason people like to act like it's still 2005 and claim Wikipedia isn't reliable.

    Llamas and alpacas are camels. They aren't like camels, or related. They are camels. When was anyone going to tell me this?! How long had Bill Nye been holding out on us?

    Wikipedia pages aren't written by AI. They are reviewed by editors, and if they detect AI-like writing they'll have a little investigation and discussion to see what to do about it. Any actual editing that happens from an AI is limited to formatting as far as I'm aware. There are enough dedicated Wikipedia editors to make anything else unnecessary.
