Neither did Wales. Hence, the next part of the article:
It doesn't mean the original process isn't problematic, or can't be helpfully augmented with some kind of LLM-generated supplement. But this is like a poster child of a troublesome AI implementation: where a general purpose LLM needs understanding of context it isn't presented (but the reader assumes it has), where hallucinations have knock-on effects, and where even the founder/CEO of Wikipedia seemingly missed such errors.
Don't mistake me for being blanket anti-AI, clearly it's a tool Wikipedia can use. But the scope has to be narrow, and the problem specific.
