Hi James, Not sure how a community of volunteers would mesh into something like that > though. And 99.9% of us would not directly be needed. >
Yes, indeed, this is the core of the point. We are not needed. What's changing at present is that humans are no longer of much value in creating tertiary sources*. LLMs now fulfill this function more effectively. I am optimistic that humans will continue for some time to have a leading role in primary and secondary sources. If the Wikimedia mission is to continue, Wikimedia will need to do something radically different than having humans read things and assemble what they have read into articles, which has been our operating model to date. Chris *(at least, for non-current events; at present LLMs are much slower to respond to changes in the world than we are)
