This reminds me a lot of the special policies Wikipedia has developed through experience about sensitive topics, like biographies of living persons, deaths, etc.

I'm worried about this. Companies like Wikipedia spent years trying to get things right, and now suddenly Google and Microsoft (including OpenAI) are using GenAI to generate content that, frankly, can't be trusted because it's often made up.

That's deeply concerning, especially when these two companies control almost all the content we access through their search engines, browsers and LLMs.

This needs to be regulated. These companies should be held accountable for spreading false information or rumours, as it can have unexpected consequences.

Did they ? Lots of people, and some research verify this, think it has a major left leaning bias, so while usually not making up any facts editors still cherry pick whatever facts fit the narrative and leave all else aside.

To be fair, wikipedia generally tries to represent reality, which _also_ has a "left leaning bias", so maybe it's just you?
