Wikipedians want to keep Chatgpt generated stuff out because it lacks sourcing and therefore not verifiable
Really Wikipedians just use insanity, mental illness, and the lowest common denominator to stomp on anything they don't like; including retired physicist who is not so retired.

Xoreaster on SignpostHi, I'm a physicist. I started editing here because I wanted a hobby where my bookish habits could, in some small way, help people. Since at least the start of this year, I've been burned out on this place, because nearly everything comes back to cleaning up after incompetence, laziness, advertising, or ego. I tried to focus my efforts on the more often-visited and conceptually central science articles, in order to feel like I wasn't wasting my time — the disrepair of such pages is downright demoralizing. This ended up not being sustainable either. Whenever I felt the slightest bit of optimism, a behind-the-scenes policy debate would crush it. So, I'm pretty much gone now.
I am using Chatgtp to rewrite and proof letters - it can be used to pump out chapters in a book.Chatbot "AI" text is vaguely-plausible bullshit, produced by an industry whose primary output is vaguely-plausible bullshit, marketed to launder the idea of vaguely-plausible bullshit as cute and whimsical. Anyone routing that sewage pipe into Wikipedia should be indeffed and, for good measure, forced to drink orange juice after brushing their teeth. XOR'easter (talk) 02:33, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

It would be quite ironic to use Chatgpt to write stories about Wikipedia and Wikipedians. Chatgpt "thinks" it is a nail in Wikipedia's coffin (it does not know Wikipedia is not an encyclopedia) the overview folks at Wikipedia/WMF see something coming. It is the fastest way to organize information as to make it presentable and easy to understand for most people.
Large language models on Wikipedia: friends or foes? ----For the last few weeks, a discussion at the Village Pump has been ongoing about the potential use of text generated by large language models (like GPT-2, GPT-3, GPT-J and ChatGPT) in Wikipedia; near the end of December, a thread on the wikimedia-l mailing list discussed the issue as well, going over the potential benefits, drawbacks and use cases for these models.
Recent coverage in Slate describes a series of discussions which took place at Talk:Artwork title concerning the article (Artwork title), whose initial draft consisted of prompted output from ChatGPT. Various demonstrations have been done of the use of these models to assist in writing, editing and formatting (User:JPxG/LLM demonstration and later User:Fuzheado/ChatGPT). Currently, a proposed set of guidelines for the use of these models is under discussion (and, frankly, could use some more eyes on it).
The August 2022 issue of The Signpost explored some of these issues as they concern this publication; see the From the editors page titled "Rise of the machines, or something" for an introduction. – J, B

write a story as to why a program in the future like chatgpt will likely replace Wikipedia
In the year 2050, the world had become heavily dependent on technology for every aspect of daily life. People were constantly connected to the internet and relied on it for information and communication. One of the most popular sources of information was a program called ChatGPT, which was a highly advanced language model that had been trained on an unprecedented amount of data.
Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia that had been in use for decades, was still around but it was struggling to keep up with the fast-paced world of technology. People found it cumbersome to search for information on Wikipedia, as it required them to navigate through multiple pages and links. In contrast, ChatGPT was able to understand natural language queries and provide accurate and concise information in seconds.
The creators of ChatGPT had also implemented a feature that allowed the program to continuously learn and update its knowledge base. This meant that it was always up to date with the latest information and had a much wider range of knowledge than Wikipedia.
As more and more people turned to ChatGPT for their information needs, Wikipedia's traffic and usage began to decline. The website's volunteers and editors found it increasingly difficult to attract new contributors and keep the site updated. In the end, Wikipedia became a shadow of its former self, with most of its content outdated and inaccurate.
ChatGPT, on the other hand, continued to evolve and improve, becoming an integral part of everyday life for millions of people. It was the go-to source for information and knowledge, and it had effectively replaced Wikipedia as the world's primary source of information.
