Set aside the effect within Wikipedia and consider the larger picture, millions of people generating text with LLMs and at least some of that text being accepted as correct by millions of readers.

The WikiEdu article clearly demonstrates what everyone should have known already: an LLM has no commitment to the truth. An LLM's only commitment is to correct syntax.





An LLM's only commitment isn't to correct syntax either. It's only commitment is to popular syntax.

It happens that what is popular is correct often enough for the whole thing to somewhat work but I think it's always gonna be bristle.
