If your vote changes in some future year, do you think it will be primarily because of:

  • Wikipedia's quality declining

  • AI/LLM quality increasing

Because Wikipedia editors know what they're talking about

Wikipedia, because I know intimately how it is put together. I have no insight into LLM, except as a vastly juiced up and meta elevated Markov Chain generator, to be slightly unkind, and probably inaccurate in my assessment.

@Quroe put it on your calendar that we need to ask this question again in December 2026!

@Eliza OK!

Wikipedia because it’s reviewed by other users and I’ve found Ai has told me incorrect info in the past. But I think it has improved a bit

I trust Wikipedia more because of the vetting processes they have, but wow is it easy to get a detailed, targeted report with an LLM without having to sift through everything on a Wikipedia page.

Also, good luck understanding how a mathematical concept/equation works from a Wikipedia page.

@Quroe Yeah, the math pages on Wikipedia are mostly written by experts, for experts.

It might be fun to ask this once a year or something.
