Something I wish journalists understood better: anyone can nominate an article for deletion on Wikipedia, which kicks off a week-long discussion — even if the article is perfectly acceptable and will ultimately be kept.

@molly0xfff@hachyderm.io Out of curiosity, if a malicious entity wrote a generative AI powered script to mass-nominate articles for deletion, along the lines of what we've seen with mass AI-generated issues and commits on GitHub, would there be a process to handle that or would it effectively DDoS the editors?

@abucci @molly0xfff Nothing new there - one could write such a script without messing about with "AI", and as usual, it would probably work better than the slop version.

@denisbloodnok@mendeddrum.org Sure, mass nominations by non-gen-AI systems have always been possible, but gen AI allows for DDoS'ing the human beings who might feel compelled to read some/most of them since the text is plausible. That's definitely new.

@abucci Humans end up reading AfD nominations anyway. Something no cleverer than ELIZA could assemble one out of the usual, no indication of notability, incidental mentions only...

@denisbloodnok@mendeddrum.org You're really going to assert "nothing new here" and then as "evidence" supply hypotheticals? If you have any evidence to bring I'd be interested in hearing it; otherwise, please save both of us some time, thanks.
