@dilmandila If all of this, in your opinion, is a massive hoax, I think you should bring this up on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(miscellaneous) or something. Currently I don't have enough motivation to deal with it.

* "Medieval and early modern Africa" had one substantive edit in 2024, and it's definitely not AI-generated. -

* "US Chantilly" didn't have substantive edits since 2017.
* "Ethnic groups in Gabon", "Budaka, Uganda" and "
JA Drancy" didn't have subsantive edits since 2020.
* "Kooki" had AI-generated edits by the same person whom I reverted on "Basimba people", I'll revert these too.
* "Buganda" had recent content additions, but they are not AI-generated.
* "Pre-colonial history of the Democratic Republic of the Congo" had one substantive edit in 2024, and it's definitely not AI-generated. -
#AI hallucination in #wikipedia is disheartening.@dilmandila As for other articles in the search results:
* "Clans of Baganda" had some policy-non-compliant edits (and was rightfully tagged for prose issues afterwards), but the editor behind them definitely didn't use AI (see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Clans_of_Baganda&diff=prev&oldid=1300160882 (scroll to "Inheritance" section)).

#AI hallucination in #wikipedia is disheartening.@BenHM3 @dilmandila You seem to have a serious misunderstanding of how Wikipedia is run.
-
#AI hallucination in #wikipedia is disheartening.@dilmandila I reverted their edits.
"I've seen other wiki articles of this thing" - can you give me a full list here so I can revert the relevant edits where possible?
