It's probably fine.
It's not like AI scrapers weren't already scraping Wikipedia and using that data anyway, so Wikipedia might as well try to get paid for it.
I expect to see a "ai summarize" button on Wikipedia in the coming months.
Yeah I wouldn't be excited..
Wikipedia editors at least have rejected ai content afaik, so I think the actions of the foundation and the actions of the site will remain out of sync for the moment.
It is kind of amazing how little respect the foundation has for the works of their editors and how little they actually do for the site.
Quick-summarizing the article on Katyn as I pwn some tankies on Reddit without a single need for my own thought. Just lettin' the LLM flow through me.
Probably better to make a deal and offer it via some dedicated service than webscraping but it's funny that they've been running ads for ages talking dismissively about how AI "runs on Wikipedia" at the same time they made their first deal with Google :^|
