Wikipedia is a treasure trove of amusing articles. From funny subjects to meta lists, there's a lot to laugh about on the publicly editable encyclopedia. Beyond that, there are a ton of impressive articles that catalog huge amounts of information. What's your favorite Wikipedia article, and why?

It's getting harder to recognize AI-produced content whether it's video, image, or text. This is worrying for several reasons, but as AI continues to improve, some people might not mind as much. Would you mind if what you'd been reading on a website or even book was written by AI? Why or why not? I don't want to read AI-written content unless I'm specifically asking for it. Why would I want to read something AI spit out on a website when I could go to the chatbot itself and ask for it?
