I know the steel made before this particular year is look after because was not affected or build during periods of radiation, and that gives it qualities sought after.<p>When AI started I got a copy of 6 months before of wikipedia and open street map.<p>At some point you cannot trust anything because everything has been touched by everything as a regurgitation of everything.
So what's the solution? I imagine the right one isn't specific to fan wikis. We're going to need sites where 100% of contributed content is human-written. Who is building this? How will it work?<p>If the solution merely makes it high friction to post AI content that is probably good enough. In other words if someone has to copy/paste the output of an LLM into a text field and even then the tech detects that and throws an error that would be a big step in the right direction.<p>Reddit, Wikipedia, fan wikis, reviews, Hacker News comments - I'm sure there are a dozen more categories I'm missing.
Every high friction system that doesn't involve manual approval line-by-line is vulnerable to LLM circumvention and most of the ones that do are still also vulnerable to it, as long as the users of the end product are financially viable to prey upon. Also, if a game feels like work, most players will go find a different game, leaving only a narrow playerbase possessing certain personality traits. That kind of narrow playerbase has no reason to ever worry about a shortage of human wiki curation.<p>We can put these together to conclude that every game and community that lacks that kind of dedication will die out and be replaced by psychologically personalized short-form dopamine-agonist videos, as exemplified in an infamous comic:<p><a href="https://x.com/Merryweatherey/status/1395152040389713922" rel="nofollow">https://x.com/Merryweatherey/status/1395152040389713922</a>
Fandom (ex-Wikia) has been a dumpster fire since day one.
Wait until you have to audit your average codebase post-AI.<p>AI is rotting pretty much everything that was carefully curated over the last couple of decades. If it can be expressed in bits it will be degraded. This is one of the most annoying side effects of AI, the general decrease in quality. Quality of discourse, quality in literature, quality of information, quality of software. It's everywhere.
