⚡️🔎 NEW - Wikimedia Foundation, which runs Wikipedia, announced it will push AI companies to access its content via its paid product (Wikimedia Enterprise) instead of scraping the site for free - while at the same time urging proper attribution to human editors.
The move comes as Wikipedia reports an 8 % year-on-year drop in human page-views and a spike in bot traffic that scraped data by masquerading as users.
Likely because people now ask ChatGPT instead of seraching on wikipedia.
