Summing up with the fact that editing bots could discourage editor contribution, this could lead to a stagnation of the platform (fewer and less trustable updates).

NOTE: since LLMs are fed with Wikipedia content, they could also end up being affected.

As a last remark, the article speculates how to counteract this decay with editor incentives on public knowledge platforms such as Wikipedia. They suggest exploring micromonetization.

Personal remark: could improving the perceived social capital of contributors (e.g., via stressing badges in users' profiles) help? Social networks started capturing this social capital from more knowledge-rich and open websites (and from 'the real world') even before bots began thriving…
