For anything that isn't current events, that's basically Wikipedia for me.



I wonder if Wikipedia is also going to be destroyed by ChatGPT-like technologies. It is not hard to imagine a bot that writes its own "primary sources" (even comes up with good domain names to host them on), edits entries linking them, comments defending them etc until the torrent of bullshit is so thick that honest human editors are overwhelmed by the machines serving dull corporate and government propaganda interests. Like, imagine if there are 500 bot edits for every human hour spent curating/reviewing/adjudicating. Then scale it to 5,000,000 edits per hour.
