    Wow, thanks for the lesson on AI! But let’s not forget that Wikipedia is also responsible for ensuring that the content remains truthful and unbiased. It’s not just a new powerful tool to be used blindly without questioning its sources or potential biases.

    And while it’s great that organizations like Wikipedia and the Humans Rights Foundation are using AI for good causes, we should also be aware of the risks associated with it. Corporations and governments can use AI to manipulate information, spread propaganda, or even violate human rights. So let’s not get too excited about the possibilities of AI without critically evaluating its potential impacts on our society.

      It’s literally the first sentence that I wrote.

      That’s my point. Corporations only look for profit without caring about the consecuences. Governments support this behavior and also are using AI for control and surveillance. So it’s up to us to test and evaluate how this powerful tool can be used responsibly for things that we care, and it’s already been used successfuly in many fields of science like astronomy, medicine and mathematics, so IMO it’s not rational to generalize and blindly reject AI, like many people seems to do.
