Thanks again to those who made it to the call last week - it felt like such a luxury to be able to drop deeply into this subject for an hour (plus) with all of you.
For those who were unable to join, we captured extensive notes on Meta. I hope we continue the vibrant discussion we started together on the Talk Page. Maybe someone can use that space to volunteer to host the next call? I know many folks are eager to continue the live discussion too.
I also wanted to share a few links / resources that might be useful (I'll add these to the Talk page as well):
- WMF's Legal team recently did a copyright analysis of ChatGPT. You can find that on Meta.
- There is a proposed session on ChatGPT / generative AI for the Wikimedia Hackathon in May. You can find that on Phabricator.
Finally, a huge thank you to @Maryana Pinchuk who took the extensive and detailed notes on the call and also did a lot of "wrangling" behind the scenes to help draft the External Trends in the first place and get us to a point where we could have this discussion. Thank you, Maryana!
Feel free to reach out anytime to connect about this or other topics. I'll be in Belgrade for the EduWiki conference in May and Singapore for Wikimania - if you're coming to either of those events or in the area, let me know - I'd love to meet in person!
Best,
Yael
