At Nieman Journalism Lab, Bill Adair (journalist) says "If Grok...were a student in one of my writing courses, I would give it a D" and it "can't write worth a lick", and finds "a mush of buzzwords" in his own Grok biography, the verbosity of which would "help someone suffering from a sleep disorder". But he says that Grok "shows that AI is actually pretty good at finding tidbits in the far corners of the internet" and, though "clueless" at good writing, is an example of technology that "can be a tool that helps [humans] research and write better articles". [1]

And at The Tufts Daily, "The Death of Wikipedia" says "The biggest threat to Wikipedia's survival, AI, is likely the online tool, rife with misinformation, that we first assumed Wikipedia would be."

LaBonne's Markets, a four store Connecticut grocery chain, outranks Wikipedia when you search for apples in some search results, according to Search Engine Land. The Signpost can confirm that we got the same result on November 5]. See LaBonne's archived page here. What's going on? Doesn't result in more apple sales at LaBonne's. We got similar results for bone-in standing rib roast or standing rib roast (LaBonne's ranked #3 and #5, Wikipedia was unranked). Will explore in detail later. – S

• Subtitle: Minnesota Legislative Reference Library told Washington Post Ilhan Omar's birth date was changed in official records and attempted at her request? not clear on Wikipedia and "that Omar's staff had sought that change". Snopes weighed in on the matter as well, putting the "true" check-mark on their article, and noted in mid-October that "Rep. Omar's congressional staff are working with Wikipedia and the U.S. House to correct her birth year in those sources." New York Post and Fox News echoed the Wikipedia connection to the matter.

This page is a draft for the next issue of the Signpost. Below is some helpful code that will help you write and format a Signpost draft.

Images and Galleries

Sidebar images To put an image in your article, use the following template (link): I understand the primacy of pure feeling in creative art. {{Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/Filler image-v2 |size = 300px |fullwidth = no |alt = TKTK |caption = |image = }} This will create the file on the right. Keep the 300px in most cases. If writing a 'full width' article, change |fullwidth=no to |fullwidth=yes. Inline images Placing {{Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/Inline image |size = 300px |align = center |alt = TKTK |caption = |image = }} (link) will instead create an inline image like below The significant thing is feeling, as such, quite apart from the environment in which it is called forth. Galleries To create a gallery, use the following <gallery style="float:right;" mode=packed | heights=200px> |TKTK |TKTK </gallery> Each line inside the tags should be formatted like File:Whatever.jpg|Caption). This creates: Art no longer cares to serve the state and religion, it no longer wishes to illustrate the history of manners. It wants to have nothing further to do with the object as such, and believes that it can exist in and for itself. If you want it centered, remove tstyle="float:right;" from the first line.
