Paper out in @pnas.org
We compared ~18,000 matched articles between Wikipedia and Grokipedia, xAI’s AI-generated encyclopedia. While many pages closely mirrored Wikipedia, a substantial subset diverged markedly in content, sourcing, and political orientation, especially in religion and history.
Our new paper is out today in @pnasnexus.org with colleagues at Yale (@matthewshu.com, Danny Karell, @keitarookura.bsky.social)
We wanted to understand how using AI-generated summaries to learn about history influenced attitudes compared to existing resources like Wikipedia. 1/4

ICYMI: Finally blogged about an "old" paper led by @groceryheist.cc that uses data from a @wikipedia.org system to show how the introduction of a biased AI flagging system can still lead to more fairness because the humans without the system are even more biased. mako.cc/copyrighteou...
Congratulations to @tiagolubiana.bsky.social for shepherding our paper to publication & to all my wonderful co-authors. "Wiki Loves iNaturalist: How Wikimedians Integrate iNaturalist Content on Wikipedia, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Commons" can be read here doi.org/10.3897/biss...
Happy 25th birthday to Wikipedia! 🥳
A fitting moment to share
1. Their great site to mark the occasion: wikipedia25.org
2. A paper in Big Data & Society, published over the winter break, where we develop Wikipedia as a “Refractive Dataset”, led by @beeeeeers.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1177/2053...

Finally blogged about my paper (led by @zarine.net) that seeks to explain why Croatian Wikipedia spent a decade captured by a cabal of political extremists and became a site for Holocaust revisionism, while other similar Wikipedia languages seemed to have fared much better. mako.cc/copyrighteou...
ICYMI: Finally blogged about an old paper led by @kayleachampion.bsky.social that developed a new method (forensic qualitative analysis) to understand the nature and value of @torproject.org users' contributions to @wikipedia.org. mako.cc/copyrighteou...
