Wikipedia is choosing to die. There is a lot wrong with a lot of what people are doing with GenAI but it is also super useful.
Unfortunately, even the best LLMs sometimes make up information ("hallucinate"), and the stuff they make up is deliberately crafted to appear exactly like real information. This is simply unacceptable for an encyclopedia.
If Wikipedia were written by paid professionals, you could plausibly put in place protocols to check and verify, and fire the ones who fail to check properly, but even paid professionals have been seen to let hallucinations through. As it is, as an encyclopedia that it is put together by volunteers, forbidding AI is pretty much a forced choice.

Oh hey a Skeptoid link. I didn't know Brian Dunning was back at it. I stopped listening years ago after he went to prison.
Text-based and image recognition-based captchas are trivial for an AI to solve, but what about those weird new captchas that make you do mental rotation tasks?
For example, these:

I think there is still some hope for an evolution in captcha technology.
Moving to where? Most forums are dead and gone. Genuinely curious.
What, you give male aliens a mulligan?
"Sorry, but we don't have an insurance code to cover 'sub-atomic vaporization chain-reaction'."
But a question to ask is, was it actually a robot? Or was it just a remote teleoperated by a human?
Interchangeable parts won't.
