At first, the problem was noticed by moderators, who drew the attention of the administration to published articles created by artificial intelligence. Additionally, in many of these articles, the pieces compiled by artificial intelligence are remarkable. And their reproduction by the ChatGPT bot confirmed the suspicions.
WikiProject AI Cleanup participants will review suspicious articles to confirm that the text was written by AI. And if this is confirmed, a specific decision will be made depending on how fake the article is.
For example, one of these 2 thousand words materials talks about the Amberlisihar castle that existed during the Ottoman Empire. However, in reality, such a castle does not exist and users who do not understand the subtleties of history are mistaken. At the same time, the material fed real facts about the location, architecture and construction of the castle, which made the fake material convincing.
According to Leblue, it is unclear why users are posting fake AI-generated articles. But the particular problem is that according to Wikipedia rules, anyone can be an editor.
