    What do you mean steal it? The article makes it clear that the errors are likely the result of AI hallucinations that arose during translation and that accounts that have submitted multiple articles with these errors will be subject to additional review or banning from this program. It seems likely that underpaid people using AI to translate things aren’t paying as much attention to the output as Wikipedia expects.

      underpaid people

      Nobody is paid for editing Wikipedia, the economic incentive is nonexistent.

      (Except for shills/manipulators.)

      Edit: I should’ve read the article.

        You should have read the article:

        […] Open Knowledge Association (OKA), a non-profit organization dedicated to improving Wikipedia and other open platforms.

        “We do so by providing monthly stipends to full-time contributors and translators,” OKA’s site says. “We leverage AI (Large Language Models) to automate most of the work.”
