Those two things are not alike, and the claim about Wikipedia is a blatant lie ... certainly it is vastly more reliable than you are. Other comments from you:

> there is a gatekeeping cretin in his basement hitting refresh to make sure he controls the world's definition for egg salad.

> Wikipedia is filled with ministers of truth.

Permanently muted and dismissed.

Regarding Reddit, there is a lining of truth behind his claim (despite possibly being a troll based on account age). Someone years ago made a well written post about it on reddit (yes I know, kind of ironic)

Things have certainly changed since the introduction of AI, but I still believe the status quo is mostly the same regarding people who create content or write content and people who passively consume it.
