AI Translations Are Adding ‘Hallucinations’ to Wikipedia Articles AI translated articles swapped sources or added unsourced sentences with no explanation, while others added paragraphs sourced from completely unrelated material.

The new restrictions show how Wikipedia editors continue to fight the flood of generative AI across the internet from diminishing the reliability of the world’s largest repository of knowledge.

“Using AI to check AI can absolutely fail — and in some contexts it can fail at very high rates."

AI Translations Are Adding ‘Hallucinations’ to Wikipedia Articles AI translated articles swapped sources or added unsourced sentences with no explanation, while others added paragraphs sourced from completely unrelated material.

NEW: Wikipedia editors have implemented new policies and restricted a number of contributors who were paid to use AI to translate existing Wikipedia articles into other languages after they discovered these AI translations added AI “hallucinations,” or errors, to the resulting article.

Thank you!

It’s time to let people who were born in 1947 have a chance.

Our girl is 7 yo. The surreal speed of time reinforces though how lucky I’ve been for so long. Grateful 🎈

The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.

Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.

OTD in 2014 i denied the masked, armed men in Crimea were Russian soldiers. I lied.

But you can believe me over a peace deal now

The grift that keeps on grifting.

a tiny light brown dachshund is being held up by a human who is out of frame. they are at a beautiful snowy mountain range that looks straight out of a Pinterest photo. the dachshund pup, Frankie, is wearing a full body puffer jacket that matches her light brown fur perfectly.

This is Frankie. She just got a fancy new puffer and thinks she’s better than everyone now. And she is correct. 13/10 (IG: frankielasaucisse)

Price of the White House ballroom now at $400 million and rising. Which is still relatively cheap when you consider that would only buy four fighter jets for Kuwait to shoot down and, hey, that barely gets us through a day of a fresh Mideast war.

Personal news update: I'm delighted to announce that as of today, I am an actual Bluesky employee! I'll be working to welcome indie media and local govt to Bsky—and supporting those already here.

I'll always want to hear your thoughts on how we can make Bsky the sort of social media we all want!

Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Please spread the word.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive
