    I still prefer https://en.uncyclopedia.co/wiki/Main_Page for my fake Wikipedia needs, but this is pretty good.

    So were all the articles generated using Gemini Argon?

    I find that surprising because, after all, they're not badly written and don't exhibit the typical AI writing patterns, at least not in "You" or "The Veracity Shift"

      Google says that writing and conciseness was a big focus for Argon. I suspect it's also been told to to write in wiki style, which usually gets to the point pretty quickly.

        Synthesis of data by LLMs is really good today. I have tried it several times, e.g. for obituaries, or profiles of known people. Nevertheless, I would suggest to double-check everything (Jev, another agents) as one LLM is not enough. Its knowledge can be capped somewhere you don’t want.

        Fiction similar to Fakeipedia? Skill for unslop and a little detailed prompt is good enough to generate texts that 98 pct don’t recognize from human-written ones.

    Nothing about Uqbar? I swear, mirrors and gen AI are hateful.

    For a second I thought this was a replacement for the ads-up-the-waazoo enshittification of Wikia that is Fandom :')

      Fun fact: You can change "fandom.com" to "antifandom.com" in any Fandom URL to get a fast, clean, ad-free mirror.
