    After much debate, the new policy is in effect: Wikipedia authors are not allowed to use LLMs for generating or rewriting article content. There are two primary exceptions, though.

    First, editors can use LLMs to suggest refinements to their own writing, as long as the edits are checked for accuracy. In other words, it’s being treated like any other grammar checker or writing assistance tool. The policy says, “ LLMs can go beyond what you ask of them and change the meaning of the text such that it is not supported by the sources cited.”

    The second exemption for LLMs is with translation assistance. Editors can use AI tools for the first pass at translating text, but they still need to be fluent enough in both languages to catch errors. As with regular writing refinements, anyone using LLMs also has to check that incorrect information hasn’t been injected.







  • I guess the problem is not the repetitive task, but electron microscopes are expensive to use, and while you create your gifs others can’t use it for actual research. They need vacuum and high voltage to work, which cost money.

    I found that to create nice and and clean noise free image you need minutes to hours of exposure time, so it’s possible that gif took hours to take. Someone had to pay for the electricity bill during that, I guess you don’t want to pay for that frequently.

    Please correct me if you are someone with actual experience with electron microscopes. It’s hard to find info on this topic.
