Fan wiki hosting site Fandom rolls out controversial AI features


Wiki creators demanded opt-outs from one of the features.

When visiting the wiki for The Witcher, for instance, anyone curious to find out who trained Geralt of Rivia can click on the question and learn that the answer is Vesemir. But when Fandom first began testing the feature in August 2023, community members complained that the AI frequently answered incorrectly and, at times, inappropriately. It will be an optional feature, but Fandom said it is available on the character pages for its most popular sites, including Avatar(as in airbending, not the blue aliens), Harry Potter, The Last of Us,and The Witcher.
