Wikipedia 'AI-Generated' File Description Drift by File Type

This page tracks how descriptions of AI-generated images on Wikipedia change as models improve or policies evolve. It measures the median drift in description length per file type—such as diagrams, photos, or illustrations—and the percentage of files with updated descriptions. The data comes from comparing historical and current descriptions of AI-generated files across Wikipedia’s categories, revealing how content curation adapts to technological and editorial shifts.
