Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

A key difference here is that while either can be incorrect, the structure of Wikipedia *creates context* and the structure of LLMs *destroys context*

Wikipedia has linked sources and an edit history showing where information came from and who added it when

An LLM just generates text

Drifter and Eris... Difter and Sneris...

An illustration depicting The Drifter and Eris Morn from the game "Destiny 2" as snails. The Drifter snail wears a green bandana atop his head, with a green necklace, and a furry, spiked cauldron atop his shell. The shell resembles that of a Helix aspersa in dark green. The Eris snail has three eye stalks, glowing green at the tip, with a black hood, and Lissachatina fulica type shell, also glowing green at the tip. The are facing each other.
