Wikipedia is under assault: rogue users keep posting AI generated nonsense
Correction (10/11/24): Lebleu reached out to clarify a few detailed regarding the motivations behing the user posting AI-generated materiel and the examples mentioned. These changes were applied...
Wikipedia has a new initiative called WikiProject AI Cleanup. It is a task force of volunteers currently combing through Wikipedia articles, editing or removing false information that appears to have been posted by people using generative AI.
Ilyas Lebleu, a founding member of the cleanup crew, told 404 Media that the crisis began when Wikipedia editors and users began seeing passages that were unmistakably written by a chatbot of some kind.

Worse than ads on paused content on a TV you own?
I wouldn't know. I use pihole to block all ads on my TV OS. I'm curious though, which service/app is giving you ads on pause? Do you mean like on a Roku TV where the screensaver is ads? Many TVs let you disable that (i.e. LG WebOS.) otherwise pihole is your friend :-)
My TV is old enough that it doesn't have it, I'm just talking about the general trend toward making that a thing. I'm not going to buy a TV that forces ads on me, and the fact that I have to actively look for that on my next TV is appalling.
I have bad news for you. Literally every TV has ads now. Every. Single. One. That's why I keep harping on Pihole. It blocks them.
Not the commercial grade ones, like "hospitality" TVs. They're more expensive, but they're also intended to be a bit more reliable as well.
I'm worried they'll adapt the ads to not be blockable w/ Pihole.
Yeah I'm worried about that too. Like Pihole can't block youtube ads because they're served from the same domain. Same with Twitch. So that could become even more common.
