Wikipedia has a new initiative called WikiProject AI Cleanup. It is a task force of volunteers currently combing through Wikipedia articles, editing or removing false information that appears to have been posted by people using generative AI.
Ilyas Lebleu, a founding member of the cleanup crew, told 404 Media that the crisis began when Wikipedia editors and users began seeing passages that were unmistakably written by a chatbot of some kind.
I wouldn't know. I use pihole to block all ads on my TV OS. I'm curious though, which service/app is giving you ads on pause? Do you mean like on a Roku TV where the screensaver is ads? Many TVs let you disable that (i.e. LG WebOS.) otherwise pihole is your friend :-)
My TV is old enough that it doesn't have it, I'm just talking about the general trend toward making that a thing. I'm not going to buy a TV that forces ads on me, and the fact that I have to actively look for that on my next TV is appalling.
Yeah I'm worried about that too. Like Pihole can't block youtube ads because they're served from the same domain. Same with Twitch. So that could become even more common.
