[08:49:09] as for draining users from local wikipedias, I don't know about that, but at least here's a chunk of new contributors [10:21:45] inariksit: gpt can write as many random wikipedia articles in many many languages as you like. they just don't make too much sense [10:22:13] which is not too different from the current state of the smaller wikipedias [10:25:04] did you hear the story about the scots wikipedia? https://slate.com/technology/2020/09/scots-wikipedia-language-american-teenager.html [11:26:41] yep :-D [11:36:13] there was also a case of a person who won a french scrabble championship by just memorizing the dictionaries. sometimes simple methods can lead to convincing results [11:36:57] did the person actually speak french?
