A useless add-on Russia’s Wikipedia replacement is touting its integrated AI — but the results are underwhelming — Meduza
meduza.io
Earlier this month, Wikipedia scrapped its experiment with AI-generated article summaries following backlash from the site’s editors. Meanwhile, Russia is actively promoting its heavily state-censored online encyclopedia, Ruwiki, where a built-in neural network is touted as a key advantage over competitors. The results, however, have been far from impressive. Meduza examines how Russia’s homegrown Wikipedia alternative is trying to integrate AI — and why it still stumbles over “inconvenient” questions.

    Imagine my utter shock.

    I’ll be surprised once the Russians actually manage to do something right

    Edit:

    Unlike in the West, the use of AI in Russian online encyclopedias hasn’t sparked much debate among editors — at least not publicly.

    Gee wonder why that is

    At least the AI doesn’t mean to lie to you, unlike the intention of the rest of the site.
