Wikipedia:Do not lie about AI
Wikipedia essay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Large language models are being increasingly used to generate text online. However, they are contrary to the purpose of writing a free encyclopedia, and must not be used for generating Wikipedia content or in discussions.
 | This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article or a Wikipedia policy, as it has not been reviewed by the community. |
 | This page in a nutshell: Lying about the use of artificial intelligence or large language models will not end well for you. |
Some editors deny their use of LLMs even when they're caught red-handed (as, for example, when they accidentally post a "prompt" in an article or talk-page comment). Then they use an LLM to lie that they're not using an LLM. Why anyone thinks that other editors will be fooled by such transparent nonsense is hard to understand. Lying is unacceptable anywhere on the project, but AI liars incur the community's wrath like little else does.
So don't lie about using LLMs, and don't use an LLM or AI to lie that you're not using them. It will not end well for you.
