Hello, I'm Neveselbert. An edit that you recently made seemed to be generated using a large language model (an "AI chatbot" or another application using such technology). Text produced by these applications can be unsuitable for an encyclopedia, and output must be carefully checked. I have reverted your edit. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Using LLMs to write one's talk page comments or edit summaries, in a non-transparent way, is strongly discouraged. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 21:05, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Neveselbert. I do use AI to help with tasks such as copyediting (including wording and stylistic edits), summarizing, and paraphrasing WP:RS, but I do not copy large swaths of AI-generated text wholecloth, and I certainly do not use AI-generated references. I am extremely careful to try to avoid the issues with AI that are listed (such as avoiding WP:OR and AI 'hallucinations', unsourced or unverifiable content, non-NPOV edits, and copyright violations). I feel that my uses of AI are explicitly listed and well within the bounds of the acceptable uses for use when using an AI when editing.

I did not see a revert of an edit of mine before you sent me this notice. Could you please provide me with a link to the diff of your revert of my edit that you feel contained the issue and also your specific concerns of how that edit failed to comply with the essay's recommendations? Thanks. Wikipedialuva (talk) 21:38, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Wikipedialuva. These are the comments I noticed you wrote with AI, without clarifying this advantage to the person you were speaking with. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 21:40, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Neveselbert: Thank you for a list of the diff. I did not use AI to write that response; in fact, that response took almost an hour for me to compose (see this diff [1] where I accidentally hit "enter" while writing a response and thus submitted a reply I was not finished writing). It contains numerous areas that AI struggles would struggle generating (such as knowing Frisch's background and locating and citing the published response calling out the methodological problems with Frisch's study). I did use AI to make copyedits and very minor stylistic edits, but I do not feel these minor tweaks rise to the level of needing to be disclosed. Wikipedialuva (talk) 21:56, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If not those comments, these earlier comments very easily could've been written using AI. Using jargon like It is crucial to consider and a multitude of factors are a dead giveaway of ChatGPT. It's actually very easy to insert information regarding a public figure's background, while linking to published responses, earlier in a chat. Again, please refer to WP:CHATGPT. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 22:26, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Neveselbert: I did review the diff you sent and am aware of the WP:CHATGPT essay (which, while I respect, it is important to remember is an WP:ESSAY and not a binding policy or guideline). The content of the original diff (e.g., only addressing a small part of their claims) and the time stamps clearly indicate that the linked diff you provided was a work in progress, not intended as a final response. It was accidentally sent to a miskey while writing, and I reverted it immediately (within the same minute) after it was posted.[2]

I added the later diff to show that the final response took extensive time and contained writing that an LLM would have trouble replicating, and it took over an hour to compose. In addition to the examples I listed previously of where AI would struggle, such as being able to locate the response article to a specific study, the final responses also mention previous discussions listed previously on the article's talk, making references to topics discussed in the current revision of the article in question, along with specific Wikipedia policies like WP:FRINGE, WP:DUE. WP:BALANCE, WP:MEDRS. I am not aware of any LLM that has the ability to include any of this, much less in a correct context, nor would an LLM take over an hour to compose a response. As I already noted, I did use a different AI to make copy-edits and style changes (ChatGPT and most LLMs are not very good at helping with editing and style changes alone), which I believe did use the specific stylistic words you take issue with (which I would add were not in the original diff that your linked or final reponse). However, since I did NOT use an LLM to generate the core content itself (which is what I would interpret to be "LLM output" per WP:LLMDISCLOSE), I do not feel that using a non-LLM AI to make wording suggestions and copy-editing changes constitutes "LLM output" in a manner that would require disclosure per WP:LLMDICLOSE. Wikipedialuva (talk) 23:39, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid I'm not convinced. It looks like you're using AI as a cudgel, even now, to overwhelm other users. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 20:28, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Neveselbert: At the end of the day, with rare exceptions, it is impossible to definitively prove whether it was a human or an LLM who wrote something; therefore, you cannot prove your claim, nor can I disprove your claim. I, however, have provided evidence and attempted to thoroughly address your claims and the (minimal) evidence you gave to attempt to show that I am using LLMs to compose my responses. At the end of the day, it is your choice to not believe me. However, to persist in accusing me of using LLMs to write responses, and to imply that I am lying about it, while providing no new or unaddressed evidence to support your claims begins to feel as if you are WP:casting aspersions.

I also do not agree that giving thorough and reasoned responses to each point constitutes a "cudgel", especially when it is a response to an IP editor who appears to be stating their personal opinion on how something "should" look and be and then appears to demand the article's WP:biomedical information be changed to support their opinion based on a handful of biased and questionable cherry-picked studies. This occurred after I had provided explanations about WP:DUE and WP:BALANCE, which they failed to address. The point of an article talkpage is to be a forum to engage in a thorough, reasoned, and robust discussion about how the article should be written and what should be included in an article. Thoroughly responding to a user that makes several claims and is demanding changes to long-standing article language while appearing to ignore policy is far from using a "cudgel". Wikipedialuva (talk) 09:55, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You shouldn't be wp:soapboxing in favour of the subject of an article, that's all I have left to say. You've also used biased and questionable cherry-picked studies to support your case, which isn't productive. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 16:34, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Neveselbert: You shouldn't be wp:soapboxing in favour of the subject of an article, that's all I have left to say.

I would first point out that you originally messaged me, claiming that I was engaging in responding to talkpage comments with LLMs. When I responded and explained myself with evidence, you then proceeded to ignore the evidence I presented and went on to accuse me, without any further evidence, of lying about it and claimed that I was using LLMs to "cudgel" you and other users. Now you are changing the topic to accuse me of WP:soapboxing. I am certainly not WP:soapboxing. As I noted earlier, all of my talkpage discussion on the "Circumcision" article has been directly responding to claims, comments, and demands from users who are demanding changes to longstanding article language.

You've also used biased and questionable cherry-picked studies to support your case, which isn't productive.

I have not cited studies on the "Circumcsion" article talkpage; I cited a single published article that was written as a direct response to the Frisch & Simonson (2022) study the IP user tried to use to justify their demands. The article I cited was written by four Danish researchers and a Canadian (not countries that are known for being widely pro-circumcision) and pointed out numerous methodical issues with the Frisch & Simonson study.

If you truly feel as though my editing and responses are in violation of Wikipedia policy or that I am otherwise being disruptive, then you are free to report my editing and behavior to WP:ANI. I would remind you about WP:SHOT and WP:BOOMERANG though, as you are messaging me about the "Circumcision" article talkpage when you have an "indefinite topic ban on human genitalia, broadly construed" due to your editing and talkpage actions involving, among other things, circumcision-related articles. That topic ban, to my knowledge, has not been successfully appealed. Wikipedialuva (talk) 23:17, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, while I appreciate the effort of yours in fighting off vandalism by patrolling to Recent changes. I just want to let you know something.

At User talk:195.85.176.74, you've left a warning by using Twinkle but you were not the user who initially reverted the edit at the article the IP contributed to. I would assume that it would've been a coincidence of reverting the same revision at the same time but I managed to revert it first. Just bear in mind that only the user who initially reverted a revision on any Wikipedia page or articles are the one responsible to leave a warning on the IP or users talk page.

Thanks. PEPSI697 (💬 • 📝) 00:35, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi PEPSI697. I actually used WP:RedWarn in this instance to attempt to revert the vandalism and warn the user instead of WP:Twinkle. (I sometimes do use Twinkle though, depending on the task.)

I believe what likely happened is that you and I both likely attempted to revert the vandalism at nearly the exact same time. In this case, your revert appeared to go through first. However, when reverting with RedWarn, after you submit the revert attempt on the article page, it automatically loads a suggested warning at a user warning based on the current warning levels that you can send to the user from the same page you reverted the vandalism. Unfortunately, in cases like this, there was no way for the RedWarn user to know that another user was attempting to revert at the same time, much less that the other users revert beat theirs. After I submitted the revert attempt with RedWarn, the usual user warning options popped up, and I submitted the user warning as I usually do via RedWarn, believing that the user notice I was sending was for the revert I thought I had just done. I want to assure you that it was not my intention to issue a warning on your behalf. I hope this clarifies what happened, and I apologize for any confusion this caused. And thanks for helping with the vandalism! Wikipedialuva (talk) 06:38, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In this revert I have noticed you forgot to warn the person whose edit you reverted. Please don't forget it next time. It could discourage them. Sangsangaplaz (Talk to me! I'm willing to help) 12:51, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Sangsangaplaz: Thanks for the reminder. I usually send out a user notice when I perform a revert; however, sometimes I forget to send one when I am doing a manual/partial revert.Wikipedialuva (talk) 13:04, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yea I tend to do the same. 😅 Sangsangaplaz (Talk to me! I'm willing to help) 08:44, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Wikipedialuva, thanks for reverting and reporting IP 2604:3D08:787C:5300:B3EF:50E9:8991:DF7B. I just thought I'd mention that there's not really any point in using the Uw-multipleIPs warning for IPv6 (= those are the long IPs that always begin with a 2). The user has no control over the change between different IPs in the same /64 range; the individual is assigned different IPs automatically, and frequently, so jumping between IPs is not actually an attempt to "avoid detection, circumvent policies or evade blocks or sanctions". All IPs that have the first four groups of numbers the same are in the same /64 range, which normally is used by only one person, so admins will normally block the whole /64, in this case 2604:3D08:787C:5300::/64. You only have to warn and report the last IPv6 in the range that you see, and admins will know what to do with it. Regards, Bishonen | tålk 09:39, 12 December 2024 (UTC).[reply]

Hi Bishonen! Thank you for your message and for clarifying some of the nuances of IP hopping warnings on IPv4 versus IPv6. I did notice that the user was using IPv6, and I understand that IPv6 addresses change more frequently than IPv4. However, since they had just received final warnings on the previous IP, I thought there might be a chance they were intentionally IP hopping.

Could you clarify if the IP hopping warning is only applicable to IPv4 users or if there are situations where it might also apply to IPv6 users? Thanks again! Wikipedialuva (talk) 02:18, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'm not a real techie, I mostly just try to sound like one, but as far as I understand it, that warning is only applicable to IPv4. Now let's see if one of your talkpage stalkers turns up to clarify better! Bishonen | tålk 06:02, 14 December 2024 (UTC).[reply]

@Bishonen: Thanks for the clarification on when to use that warning message. I will try to reserve my IP hopping warnings for IPv4 addresses and avoid sending them to IPv6 addresses. Wikipedialuva (talk) 07:13, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Wikipedialuva,

It is our pleasure to invite you to join a study at the University of Minnesota! The objective of the study is to understand how large language models (LLMs) impact the collaborative knowledge production process, by investigating knowledge contributors’ interactions with LLMs in practice.

If you have used LLMs (e.g., GPT, Llama, Claude...) when you contribute to Wikipedia (eg. Editing Wikipedia articles with LLMs, using LLMs when interacting with other contributors), we’d love to join the study! You will be engaging in a 45-60 min interview, talking and reflecting about your experience with Wikipedia and your perception/usage of LLMs in Wikipedia. Your valuable input will not only help us understand practical ways to incorporate LLMs into the knowledge production process, but also help us generate guardrails about these practices. All participation would be anonymous.

To learn more and sign up, please visit https://umn.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bqIjhNRg9Zqsuvs.

All the best, LLMs and knowledge production Research Team Phoebezz22 (talk) 19:29, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
