** Example: the article [[Special:Permalink/1188376670|Leninist historiography]] was entirely written by AI and previously included a [https://web.archive.org/web/20230927000223/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leninist_historiography list of completely fake sources] in Russian and Hungarian at the bottom of the page. Google turned up no results for these sources.
** Other example: the article ''[[Estola albosignata]]'', about a beetle species, had [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Estola_albosignata&diff=prev&oldid=1152503574 paragraphs written by AI] sourced to actual German and French sources. While the sourced articles were real, they were completely off-topic, with the French one discussing an unrelated genus of crabs.
* AI usually capitalizes every word in section titles ([[title case]]), which should instead be written in [[sentence case]].▼
* Automatic AI detectors like [[GPTZero]] are unreliable and should only ever be used with caution. Given the high rate of false positives, deleting or tagging content purely because it was flagged by an automatic AI detector is not acceptable.
===Style===
▲* AI usually capitalizes every word in section titles ([[title case]]), which should instead be written in [[sentence case]].
* A "bullet points with bold titles" style is very typical of ChatGPT, which is virtually unknown on Wikipedia. Often, the content of each bullet point will be a longer rewording of the bolded keyword preceding it.
* ChatGPT will often add a "Conclusion" section, usually arguing for the significance of the subject in a broader context. These sections do not add encyclopedic information, instead being more essay-like and subjective, and should not be present on Wikipedia.
