The Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit organization that hosts Wikipedia, says that it’s seeing a significant decline in human traffic to the online encyclopedia because more people are getting the information that’s on Wikipedia via generative AI chatbots that were trained on its articles and search engines that summarize them without actually clicking through to the site.
The Wikimedia Foundation said that this poses a risk to the long term sustainability of Wikipedia.
(it seems they are are worried more about long term erosion of the editor base and less about revenue. gave them another donation anyways)
