The extra task of asking to AI that the assignment 2 - BAE JINSU(배진수)

 I asked an AI program called Perplexity the question, “Should AI be used to write Wikipedia articles?” and its answer was as follows.


 To summarize, most people think that AI should not be used to write Wikipedia articles independently. AI can be a useful tool for drafting, suggesting citations, and helping editors, but all AI-generated material must be carefully checked and reviewed by knowledgeable human editors before it is published. In other words, the community’s opinion is quite clear, and they say that AI is only a tool to help editing, and it cannot replace human judgment and editing standards on Wikipedia.

 I think this was a very interesting task. The AI gave an answer based on the community’s opinion that AI should not be used for writing Wikipedia articles. This is similar to my own view that, for now, we should avoid using AI, but in the future, we should use it more. However, there were some differences in the details. So, I asked another question: “Will the use of AI in writing Wikipedia articles increase?” and the answer was as follows.

 As technology develops, data use increases, and AI is used more as a tool for checking and helping, it is very likely that AI will be used more in writing Wikipedia articles in the future. However, for now, it seems that human editors’ supervision and cooperation are still necessary to keep reliability and quality.

 After that, I asked, “When will be the right time for this?” Perplexity answered as follows.

 It seems that the right time for AI to take the leading role in writing Wikipedia articles has not come yet. According to experts and the community, it will take at least several decades, and maybe after 2050, for AI to reach the same level of reliability and accuracy as humans.

 But is this really? I think there is a high chance that AI will have a big influence or even replace existing methods in Wikipedia and other documentation before 2050. I cannot give a specific reason at this stage, but considering the speed of technology development, I think it will not be a difficult process.

Introduction to the blog

This blog is a digital forum where students from Collective Intelligence in Practice: Understanding Wikipedia at the Hanyang University in Korea (2025) will discuss their weekly readings and activities. Each week you are expected to post a blog post on our blog and make a comment on another student's post. You can do so on one of the following three topics: a) You can blog about the readings for the next week. As you are expected to do the assigned readings FOR the lectures they are assigned to, you are expected to post your blog and comments BEFORE that lecture. An ideal commentary should be about half a page in length (~200 words), divided into three clearly labeled sections in which you: 1) summarize in your own words of materials you read; 2) mention any new, interesting, or unusual items learned; 3) identify at least one question, concern, or discussion angle that is either problematic in some respect or could have been elaborated more. This question is likely to be incor...

Week 1. My Recent Wikipedia Edits - Jeong seolah (정설아)

I made several edits to the Wikipedia page for 'Daegu'.  Daegu, located in the southeastern part of South Korea, is the third-largest urban area in the country, following Seoul and Busan. With a population exceeding 2.3 million, it is the fourth-largest metropolitan city in South Korea and the second-largest in the Yeongnam region after Busan. Often referred to together with the surrounding North Gyeongsang Province as Daegu-Gyeongbuk, this region is home to over 5 million residents. Known for its rich history and vibrant economy, Daegu stands as a key player in South Korea's cultural and industrial landscape. Below is a summary of the changes I contributed. 1) Summarize and link Sights Section:  - Improved clarity by changing “mountains keep many traditional temples” to “the mountains keep many traditional temples.” Mosque Controversy Section:  - Simplified a sentence by removing “and of the authorities.” Festivals Section:  - Made phrasing smoother by changing “tho...

Week4 - Review about the readings for the next week. - Jo HyeonSeong (조현성)

 1. Summarize in my own words of materials. The book is primarily about the openness of Wikipedia. Openness means that anyone can participate in the creation and editing of articles without any qualifications. Openness can be a double-edged sword. While it means that you can edit without having expert knowledge of a topic, it also means that you can participate even if you have expert knowledge. For experts, articles written by non-experts can come across as inaccurate knowledge, which can anger experts. This anger can also be a catalyst for Wikipedia to continue to improve. However, articles edited only by non-experts can cause misunderstandings and convey incorrect information, so openness can be considered a double-edged sword. In fact, it sometimes causes some conflict, such as Wales' negative stance. Openness also means freedom from copyright, which means anyone can take it and use it anywhere. That is why the knowledge of non-experts can have greater impact. That is why appro...
