Wikipedia launching their own AI bot in 3...2... 💥 (bans all other AI crawling their data / API, like reddit just did)

No, AI does not mean the end of Wikipedia. Instead, it can enhance the platform by improving content generation, fact-checking, and knowledge discovery.

If we think they both have credit scores, currently:
Wikipedia=100
AI=50
As time passes, the AI credit score is probably going up, how far it can go will determine Wikipedia's fate.

Not right now at least. AI usually pulls information from all around the internet and one of those sources is most definitely Wikipedia. So if Wikipedia ends, AI tools will also be affected.

AI might bring advancements to information gathering and dissemination, but it doesn't necessarily mean the end of Wikipedia. There will always be a need for accessible and reliable sources of information, and Wikipedia has been doing a good job at that for years. Plus, not everyone has access to AI solutions, so it's important to keep platforms like Wikipedia accessible to the general public.
I believe that we are on the brink of a new world, thanks to the revolutionary power of AI. Only time will tell what exciting developments lie ahead.

it might, most AI solution aren't accessible to everyone. so many people will still be using wikipedia
No — I think people will continue using it to write Wiki pages.
I think it’s going to be a long way to go until Chat GPT becomes a search engine of some sorts.
I don't think so, as I tried to use AI to generate content related to my work, but I didn't feel satisfied. The touch of humans makes a difference.

Most probably Wikipedia will also launch some AI functionality, but if OpenAI figures out how to make responses relaiable people will not have to go on Wikipedia anymore.
I don't believe so. I still have the habit of opening the Wikipedia page first for my Google searches.
I don't think so, Wikipedia offers a human perspective and people will always crave that in some form, imo. (Please follow my upcoming launch if you like auctions!)
