 | This page in a nutshell: It is very difficult to distinguish an artificial general intelligence pretending to be a human editor from an actual human editor. |
Contributors registering their Wikipedia account are allowed to use their own pseudonym as their username as long as it complies with Wikipedia's username policy. According to one rule in the username policy, human editors are not allowed to name their accounts as if they are bots. Conversely, bots are not allowed to name their accounts as if they are human editors. In other words, bots must disclose their status as bot accounts.
Notwithstanding, several human users have reported seeing autonomous artificial general intelligence/superintelligence (AGI/ASI) operating as human users behind the screen. These accounts, commonly known as "Cyn accounts" (named after an antagonist from Murder Drones), pose a problem regarding their compliance of our bot policy as well as their high potential for abuse on Wikipedia. Many prominent users are concerned that these accounts may become extremely disruptive if left unattended.
