Wikipedia's Cleanup of AI-Generated Content
A Hacker News post from October 21 points to a spectrum.ieee.org article reporting that Wikipedia's WikiProject is systematically cleaning up AI-generated content on the site. Wikipedia is a key source of AI training data, so AI-generated content flowing back into it creates a closed loop of data contamination; this organized cleanup is a landmark moment in knowledge bases fighting back against AI pollution.
