A Princeton University study in August 2024 found that approximately 5% of new English Wikipedia articles contained substantial AI-generated content, often identifiable by stylistic quirks or leftover prompts. By March 2026, the platform banned the use of large language models for article creation due to frequent violations of core principles, restricting their use to translation and minor proofreading.
