Dear Wikimedians,I would like to share with you the editorial (written in French) of an
academic magazine related to ChatGPT. Through what it says and quotes made in particular,
I think that WE Wikimedians, just need to rethink the way we share knowledge and
information through our different projects (platforms) in order to achieve our goals set
for the year 2030 : To be the essential infrastructure of the free knowledge ecosystem...
In bold the relevant points of the editorial.
Thank you and have a nice day

ChatGPTIt can do everything: write an essay, summarise a lecture, solve equations and
answer complex questions fluently. And it can do it all so quickly. Its name? ChatGPT.
This "conversational agent" based on artificial intelligence, which appeared in
November 2022, is delighting students and giving teachers cold sweats because, even if it
is not free of clumsiness or inaccuracies, it is revolutionising evaluation methods.
So what to do? It's hard to ignore it. Censor it? According to Frédéric Schoenaers,
Vice-President of Education, it is preferable to integrate it into the range of teaching
practices while taking into account its high potential. "It's an opportunity to
change our expectations of students, to think about how we test their knowledge." If
ChatGPT can pass a test, then modify the test. Without stress. After all, the calculator
hasn't replaced the maths lesson._____

Dear Wikimedians,
Two days ago, a participant in one of our edit-a-thons consulted ChatGPT when writing an
article on the Macedonian Wikipedia that did not exist on any other language edition.
ChatGPT provided some output, but the problem was how to cite it.
The community on the Macedonian Wikipedia has not yet had a discussion on this matter and
we do not have any guidelines. So, my main questions are the following:
* Can ChatGPT be used as a reliable source and, if yes, how would the citation look like?
* Are there any ongoing community discussions on introducing guidelines?
My personal opinion is that ChatGPT should be avoided as a reliable source, and only the
original source where the algorithm gets the information from should be used.
Best regards,Kiril_______________________________________________
