For one month beginning on October 5, I ran an experiment: Every day, I asked ChatGPT 5 (more precisely, its “Extended Thinking” version) to find an error in “Today’s featured article”. In 28 of these 31 featured articles (90%), ChatGPT identified what I considered a valid error, often several. I have so far corrected 35 such errors.
Just wanted to point out the insane disparity between the cost of running Wikipedia and that of ChatGPT. The question here is not if LLMs are useful for some things, rather than if it’s worth it for most things.
