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.
90% errors isn’t accurate. It’s not that 90% of all facts in wikipedia are wrong. 90% of the featured articles contained at least one error, so the articles were still mostly correct.
