So, this is kinda wild: http://news.mit.edu/2020/automated-rewrite-wikipedia-articles-0212

"A system created by MIT researchers could be used to automatically update factual inconsistencies in Wikipedia articles, reducing time and effort spent by human editors who now do the task manually... In a paper being presented at the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, the researchers describe a text-generating system that pinpoints and replaces specific information in relevant Wikipedia sentences, while keeping the language similar to how humans write and edit."

The paper, which I have not read yet, is called "Automatic Fact-­guided Sentence Modification" and the preprint is here: https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.13838

(Note: I'm the computer science librarian at MIT, but I wasn't aware of this project before I saw the news story. I may go and talk to them about it though!)
