Wikipedia pauses AI summaries after editors skewer the idea

engadget.com Unknown 2026-04-14 21:00:29

Wikipedia is backing off AI article summaries… for now. Earlier this month, the platform trialed the feature in its mobile app. To say they weren't well-received by editors would be an understatement. The Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) paused the test a day later. The AI summaries appeared at the top of articles for 10 percent of mobile users. Readers had to opt in to see them. The AI-generated summaries only appeared "on a set of articles" for the two-week trial period. Editor comments in the WMF

Here's how I finally cracked a tricky Linux problem with this AI terminal app

Warp is scary good at fixing problems. Screenshot by Jack Wallen/ZDNET I've been using Linux for a very, very long time, and it's rare that I encounter an issue I cannot resolve. However, a few weeks ago, such a problem occurred. The issue was caused by an installed application upgrade that required a dependency that the apt package manager couldn't solve. This meant I couldn't update or upgrade the system, and that, my friends, is a big problem. I tried to resolve the issue. I even attempted

Solar Orbiter Captures First Clear Views of Sun’s South Pole—and It’s a Hot Mess

For more than 60 years, various spacecraft and telescopes have journeyed through space to stare at the Sun, capturing haunting images of the giant ball of hot gas at the heart of our solar system. Our view of the star is limited, however, by Earth’s orbital plane, which allows us to observe the Sun’s equator head-on while its polar regions remain in a frustrating blind spot.
