"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

It's fairly obvious to anybody outside the dominant culture. There are many articles if you bother searching. Here's a quote from just one:

Wikipedia materialized through predominantly westernized cisgender male voices, opinions, and biases. The awareness in the community, at that time, illustrated a rather singular point-of-view and developed policies and practices accordingly. This foundation is difficult to break. Preference on Wikipedia concerning changes or inclusion is still very singular and causes diverse participants to have work within the dominant culture... This narrow and inflexible behavior functions within the Wikipedia community to oppress and exclude. Simply because experience and history have been traditionally told from a white, cisgender male perspective, these voices and perspectives within society are taken as fact when often they are opinions or interpretations. We all experience life from our lived experiences; the Wikipedia community is no different. By infusing homogeneous points-of-view into policies and practices of a community, a disservice is being done. Content and people are being removed and excluded if they do not fit the policies and practices designed by the existing cohort of contributors. - https://wikipedia20.mitpress.mit.edu/pub/u5vsaip5

That's could be valid. I can see how it grew first in the male dominated tech sphere which was predominantly western.

I will say, the vast majority of people I encounter looking for Wiki to be defunded are the ones upset by articles like this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests_and_massacre

It upsets them that they can't censor history.

I see in other posts you reference Wiki....
