I remember being told “anyone can edit wikipedia” as the reason it wasn’t allowed. It wasnt a verifiable source. But at least for the most part, they try to remain factual.
Tiktok is pushing a specific agenda with their algorithm and trying to drive engagement and addiction. They don’t care if what gets put on their platform is true at all.
Yeah, the issue was that people would just site wikipedia and not bother to learn where the info came from. But if you follow the sources at the bottom of the wiki it can be a very valuable research tool. Localized llms in a library could be used in the same fashion. But when people rely solely on the computer, bad stuff happens
I remember at school we weren’t allowed to use Wikipedia, and further “it hurt your ability to actually research issues”.
Or the internet in general not having to find answers in books.
The next thing is always the boogyman huh

I mean I’d hope people aren’t using tiktok as a source for paper writing lmao.
