In the wave of AI controversies and lawsuits, CNET has been publicly admonished since it first started posting thinly-veiled AI-generated content on its site in late 2022— a scandal that has culminated in the site being demoted from Trusted to Untrusted Sources on Wikipedia.

Considering that CNET has been in the business since 1994 and maintained a top-tier reputation on Wikipedia up until late 2020, this change came after lots of debate between Wikipedia’s editors and has drawn the attention of many in the media, including some CNET staff members.

    I would argue otherwise.

    Wikipedia is incomprehensibly large. Perhaps the largest database of vetted human knowledge ever.

    I know for a fact you can find inaccuracies and biased information if you look for it. But it’s rare relative to the amount of information that exists there.
