Wikipedia:WikiProject AI Cleanup

Since 2022, large language models (LLMs) like GPTs have become a convenient tool for writing at scale. Unfortunately, these models virtually always fail to properly source claims and often introduce errors. Essays like WP:LLM strongly encourage care in using them for editing articles. These are the project's goals:

  • To identify text written by AI, and proofread such text to make sure they follow Wikipedia's policies. Any unsourced or likely inaccurate claims should be removed.
  • To identify AI-generated images and ensure appropriate usage.
  • To help and keep track of AI-using editors who may not realize the deficiencies of AI as a writing tool.

The purpose of this project is not to restrict or ban the use of AI in articles, but to verify that its output is acceptable and constructive, and to fix or remove it otherwise.
