"This man has been editing a Wikipedia article every four minutes for 13 years. He is insane, and he has had a huge impact on what you and I read every day when we need more information about literally anything"https://www.reddit.com/r/slatestarcodex/comments/9rvroo/most_of_what_you_read_on_the_internet_is_written/ …
Really interesting. I'd have liked more examples, to see what fraction is bot-written, or assisted in some way. E.g., the every 4-minute thing sounds like a lot of typo corrections. Even just using bots to id & then manually correcting you could do a couple hundred a day in 2 hrs
