STORM

Thanks for the report about the STORM project. In my opinion, generating Wikipedia content is a false problem. Real Wikipedia editors like doing research and writing articles. I don't why we try to replace them with an AI agent. The real problem is to enlarge the community, increase the diversity in the community, make more people interested in contributing. I don't think that STORM will help. I wrote a piece about the temptation to automate content generation last year (see fr:Wikipédia:RAW/2023-02-01#Tribune in French). Maybe I should translate it into English. PAC2 (talk) 05:43, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this will be that helpful in the community-oriented aspects, but Wikipedia has been using various bots for years now. So long as it's given the same scrutiny (or perhaps more scrutiny) than user-made articles, it should be allowed with restrictions. Baudshaw (talk) 17:58, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
