For the questions here, I recommend answering them on our blog as well.
Assignment 1: When you search for information, do you prefer to use AI or Wikipedia? Why?
Bonus points: ask the same questions to AI and compare your answers (you can do this for all questions in this module)
Assignment 2: Should AI be used to create Wikipedia articis? Read https://slate.com/technology/2023/01/chatgpt-wikipedia-articles.html and https://www.vice.com/en/article/v7bdba/ai-is-tearing-wikipedia-apart and let me know your thoughts
Assignment 3: What is Wikipedia community doing about AIs? Read Artificial intelligence in Wikimedia projects, Wikipedia:Artificial intelligence and Wikipedia:WikiProject AI Cleanup, and let me know what is interesting/surprising
Assignment 4. Use ChatGPT to generate a Wikipedia article on the same topic as your Wikipedia project (or another topic you find interesting). Compare them. How good of a job ChatGPT is doing?
Assignment 5: Read this article and use the tool described there (STORM) to generate a Wikipedia article. Is it better than ChatGPT?
Assignment 6: Ask AI how you can use it to help Wikipedia. Then consider the practicality of the answers. Can you use one or more of the suggestions AI offers? If so, try to do it and demonstrate it in class together with your answer.
Assignment 7: Can you use AI to generate an image that could be used to illustrate a Wikipedia article? See our media activity (Assignment 5) for a list of articles that need images.
