Jesus fuck, the AI debate is really older than AI itself. You’re not meant to use a singular source for facts, and you are meant to corroborate them. AI/Wikipedia could say any old shit at any given time, but if you take time to find more than one source to verify things, using those sources as a place that research has been collated to start is completely fine.
Even in school my teachers would tell us that we couldn’t use wikipedia as a source, but followed up by showing us how to use it to find sources through its citations.
I remember when it supplanted Encarta and encyclopedia Britannica. My teachers wouldn’t let me use it as a source originally
just follow the citations.
