i presume the red links are supposed to only be for fake things, but Broca's area is definitely a real thing. almost paid 90c to dream up my ideal fantasy definition of Broca's area to take part in the poisoning of canonical truth on the web. that sounds mean but i do like Fakeipedia in general

Everything starts out as a red link. On the real wikipedia red links are for articles that should be there but just aren't written yet. Same here - once that link is generated it becomes blue.

These are pretty well written, got drawn to a couple of them.

So were all the articles generated using Gemini Argon?

I find that surprising because, after all, they're not badly written and don't exhibit the typical AI writing patterns, at least not in "You" or "The Veracity Shift"

Google says that writing and conciseness was a big focus for Argon. I suspect it's also been told to to write in wiki style, which usually gets to the point pretty quickly.

Synthesis of data by LLMs is really good today. I have tried it several times, e.g. for obituaries, or profiles of known people. Nevertheless, I would suggest to double-check everything (Jev, another agents) as one LLM is not enough. Its knowledge can be capped somewhere you don’t want.

Fiction similar to Fakeipedia? Skill for unslop and a little detailed prompt is good enough to generate texts that 98 pct don’t recognize from human-written ones.

For a second I thought this was a replacement for the ads-up-the-waazoo enshittification of Wikia that is Fandom :')

Fun fact: You can change "fandom.com" to "antifandom.com" in any Fandom URL to get a fast, clean, ad-free mirror.
