Wikipedia cancels plan to test AI summaries after editors skewer the idea

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-15 05:52:58

Wikipedia is backing off a plan to test AI article summaries. Earlier this month, the platform announced plans to trial the feature for about 10 percent of mobile web visitors. To say they weren't well-received by editors would be an understatement. The Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) then changed plans and cancelled the test. The AI summaries would have appeared at the top of articles for 10 percent of mobile users. Readers would have had to opt in to see them. The AI-generated summaries only appea

The company followed that up with the launch of one of the first key-free locks in 2016, one of the earliest Apple HomeKit locks, and one of the first fingerprint-only locks. Kwikset has not shied away from new tech. Its latest model, the Halo Select ($279.99), is one of the first full-replacement Matter-over-Thread smart locks. I’ve tested almost ever

Best Gaming Routers for 2025

“Gaming router” is more of a marketing term than a legitimate designation. Sometimes it tells you the router comes with gaming features like device prioritization, but often it just means flashy lights and futuristic designs. Don't fall for it. The main metric you should pay attention to is jitter, which tells you how often your gaming experience will be interrupted by lag.

Switch 2: Switch Harder. Sure, that's a glib summation of one of the most eagerly anticipated games console launches of all time, but it is, nevertheless, apt. The Nintendo Switch 2 isn't the sort of generational leap PlayStations or Xboxes offer, but rather a refinement of what's worked for the last eight years. In short, it elevates, hones, and polishes almost every facet of the original Switch to deliver what is almost its ultimate form. The similarities are apparent from the moment you open
