Wikipedia blackout could hurt how AI engines like ChatGPT understand crypto

COINDESK ·

The lack of Wikipedia coverage is a more acute concern in an era where more users get their information from AI tools like ChatGPT. The report cites data from the AI tracking site Profound, which shows that 7.8% of links to sources on ChatGPT go to Wikipedia, compared to 1.8% and 1.1% to Reddit and Forbes, respectively, in second and third place. The report also cites data from Trakkr, which shows that Wikipedia accounted for 36% of the top-10 citation links on ChatGPT and 25% of the top 100. Contrary to popular belief, not everyone can create a Wikipedia page. The domain for doing so involves passing through tiers of protection and moderation views, according to Chainstory's report. Volunteer reviewer's must check prospective new articles against a number of factors, such as notability, verifiability and reliable sources. Even when an article clears the process, it can still be deleted by administrators or via a 7-day community vote, which cannot be appealed. Not helping matters for crypto projects is Wikipedia's guidelines for crypto-centric news organizations (including CoinDesk), which describe them as "overwhelmingly enthusiastic about cryptocurrencies" and "generally unreliable." Mainstream news outlets that cover crypto, such as Reuters and Bloomberg, are regarded as reliable, the report said, but they are less likely to explore niche areas of the industry, such as liquid staking and perpetual exchanges.

Concerns have been raised that Wikipedia's temporary outage could negatively impact the data training and information retrieval capabilities of AI models like ChatGPT. In fields where the timeliness of information is critical, such as cryptocurrency, there is a risk of declining accuracy in AI responses. Investors should closely monitor issues regarding AI model data dependency and information reliability.
