Someone please enlighten me: what is the point of an AI-generated Wikipedia when we're all now using (Wikipedia-trained) AIs directly instead of Wikipedias?

It makes sense to people who don't know what an encyclopedia or an AI chatbot are, respectively.

It's ideal to poison the web with arbitrarily distorted texts that are a mix of facts and lies, and will be picked up by others, from AI to Zoomer school essay.

There is no point except for manipulation. Right now, you have to be pretty inept to think that a language AI could contribute anything valuable to an encyclopedia.

But maybe, this will change, the group of people who consider Chatbot output as insightful about the real world seems to be growing.
