In August 2018, a company called Primer reported attempting to use artificial intelligence to create Wikipedia articles about women as a way to address [[gender bias on Wikipedia]].<ref>{{Cite magazine |last1=Simonite |first1=Tom |title=Using Artificial Intelligence to Fix Wikipedia's Gender Problem |url=https://www.wired.com/story/using-artificial-intelligence-to-fix-wikipedias-gender-problem/ |magazine=Wired |date=3 August 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Verger |first1=Rob |title=Artificial intelligence can now help write Wikipedia pages for overlooked scientists |url=https://www.popsci.com/artificial-intelligence-scientists-wikipedia |website=Popular Science |language=en |date=7 August 2018}}</ref>
===ChatGPT===

In 2022, the public release of [[ChatGPT]] inspired more experimentation with AI and writing Wikipedia articles. A debate was sparked about whether and to what extent such [[large language model]]s are suitable for such purposes in light of their tendency to [[Hallucination (artificial intelligence)|generate plausible-sounding misinformation]], including fake references; to generate prose that is not encyclopedic in tone; and to [[Algorithmic bias|reproduce biases]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Harrison |first=Stephen |date=2023-01-12 |title=Should ChatGPT Be Used to Write Wikipedia Articles? |url=https://slate.com/technology/2023/01/chatgpt-wikipedia-articles.html |access-date=2023-01-13 |website=Slate Magazine |language=en}}</ref><ref name ="vice"/> {{As of|2023|05}}, a draft Wikipedia policy on ChatGPT and similar [[large language model]]s (LLMs) recommends that users who are unfamiliar with LLMs should avoid using them due to the aforementioned risks, as well as the potential for [[libel]] or [[copyright infringement]].<ref name ="vice"/> Online communities expert [[Amy Bruckman]] told [[Vice (magazine)|''Vice'']] that she believes that LLM output could be used as a first draft for Wikipedia content, but that such content would have to be scrutinized by a human editor or else it could degrade the overall quality of Wikipedia. She compared potential strategies for remediating low-quality AI content to those for fighting [[vandalism on Wikipedia]].<ref name ="vice">{{cite news |last1=Woodcock |first1=Claire |title=AI Is Tearing Wikipedia Apart |url=https://www.vice.com/en/article/v7bdba/ai-is-tearing-wikipedia-apart |work=Vice |date=2 May 2023 |language=en}}</ref>
