Signpost Opinion1
"Meticulously" searching for problem articles
.jpg)
"Meticulous attention to every muscle and sinew..." fair enough, pass.
Yup, looks "intricate" to me...pass.
"Meticulous" writing was flagged by El Pais as a sign of AI-written promotional drivel. This is an attempt to dive in and see how bad the problem is at Wikipedia.
Results of a totally not thorough bit of research
I went and looked at the first page of results, or twenty articles for each of the four terms listed by El Pais, namely "meticulous", "meticulously", "intricate", and "commendable":
Here's what was found in:
- cooking (albeit "haute"), scientists, artists, authors, authors, military plans, both real and fictional
- cooking, again (scraping intestines?) – aha "written like an advertisement"
- even more cooking, inlay (see illustration)
- lots of horse material, and then India-related achievements which seem mostly legit, but uh-oh here's a genuine POV term for a sportsperson, better get on that (after all the other sportspeople article problems)
In summary two possible drivels out of 80 articles ... a nothingburger? Or maybe there's some drivel to be found, but it's waiting for a Signpost reader, or another editor, to find it.
