Wikipedia:Writing articles with large language models

Text generated by large language models (LLMs)^[1] often violates several of Wikipedia's core content policies. For this reason, the use of LLMs to generate or rewrite article content is prohibited, save for the exceptions given below.

This page documents an English Wikipedia content guideline. Editors should generally follow it, though exceptions may apply. Substantive edits to this page should reflect consensus.

This page in a nutshell: Don't use large language models (LLMs) to generate article content.

Editors are permitted to use LLMs to suggest refinements to their own writing, and to incorporate some of them after human review, provided the LLM doesn't introduce content of its own. Caution is required, because LLMs can go beyond what you ask of them and change the meaning of the text such that it isn't supported by the sources cited.

Use of LLMs to translate articles from another language's Wikipedia into English Wikipedia must follow the guidance laid out at Wikipedia:LLM-assisted translation.

Some editors may have similar writing styles to LLMs. More evidence than just stylistic or linguistic signs is needed to justify sanctions, and it is best to consider the text's compliance with core content policies and recent edits by the editor in question.
