Wikipedia cracks down on the use of AI in article writing

SMRTR summary

Wikipedia has banned editors from using AI-generated text to write or rewrite articles after a community vote passed 40-2, updating previous vague policies about AI usage. The new rules specifically prohibit large language models from generating article content, though editors can still use AI for basic copyediting suggestions on their own writing with human oversight and caution about potential meaning changes.
