I know at least one writing major who won an award from his volunteer work at Wikipedia. He did it as a hobby. They don't really need AI, they need people like him.
How do you win an award from editing Wikipedia?
If you don't know, it's not easy to explain completely. Basically, they offered bounties for poorly written articles, or offered awards if a rewrite was done particularly well enough and recognized as such.
