AI doesnt excel in anything, it can only be a copy of the sources it uses,
that does include Wikipedia regardless of which language project it is.

Our benefit is being "neutral" in both how we write and what we write
about, like Paulo just said its fun to dig into various topics including
controversial stuff.   Science can be as if more controversial than people,
politics, or religion but our goal is to "Share the sum of all knowledge"
to do less is a disservice to those seeking genuine unbias content.

I'd much prefer a world where Wikipedia is the only source, but if AI is
going to exist and what we do makes it regurgitate better information then
that's good.
