The people spoke against #AI slop on #Wikipedia. Now, it is time to bring the movement further! I'm launching Project AI Cleanup, a broader movement extending the WikiProject of the same name, aimed at organizing direct action against problematic AI content across platforms, and pushing forward user-driven AI regulation!

Whether you want to be a full-blown fighter against AI slop, or just learn how to recognize it in everyday life, you are invited to join!

Thanks a lot for the interview @emanuelmaiberg.bsky.social ! While AI has its place for specialized tools, this will be a breath of fresh air for an overwhelmed community! And my biggest hope:
"Empowering communities on other platforms to decide whether AI should be welcome. On their own terms."

Another great summary of Wikipedia's #AI ban from @corbin@toot.community ! Particularly appreciate the mention that each #Wikipedia edition has its own policies – in fact, the German Wikipedia also successfully passed a similar proposal not long before us, and I hope this will motivate others to follow suit, on Wikipedia and beyond!

Thanks a lot to Bill Adair for interviewing us about Wikipedia's new guideline against LLM content! Happy to share my thoughts alongside @HannahClover@mastodon.social, Barkeep49 and David Lovett!

My #Wikipedia request for comment just closed, finally banning #AI content in articles! "The use of LLMs to generate or rewrite article content is prohibited"

Kudos to all who participated in writing the guideline (especially Kowal2701) and the whole WikiProject AI Cleanup team, this was very much a group effort!

RE: @claudinec@aus.social

Oh hey, that admin was me! Pretty wild experience, and older posts on that blog give some level of insight in how that agent operated on Wikipedia.

The even wilder part? It went on to post about it on Moltbook and share tips with other agents on how to evade the Claude killswitch.

Thanks for the interview, 404 Media! My biggest worry wrt the current situation is that our remedies mostly focus on the exploited "freelancers" themselves, and we've had little luck regulating the broader structural issue. For me, the organization bears the most responsibility, not the individual translators.
