STORM: AI agents role-play as "Wikipedia editors" and "experts" to create Wikipedia-like articles, a more sophisticated effort than previous auto-generation systems (en.wikipedia.org)

A paper[1] presented in June at the NAACL 2024 conference describes "how to apply large language models to write grounded and organized long-form articles from scratch, with comparable breadth and depth to Wikipedia pages." A "research prototype" version of the resulting "STORM" system is available online and has already attracted thousands of users. This is the most advanced system for automatically creating Wikipedia-like articles that has been published to date.

The authors hail from Monica S. Lam's group at Stanford, which has also published several other papers involving LLMs and Wikimedia projects since 2023 (see our previous coverage: WikiChat, "the first few-shot LLM-based chatbot that almost never hallucinates" – a paper that received the Wikimedia Foundation's "Research Award of the Year" some weeks ago).

Please read the article before commenting. Also, coming right up, another paper creates a structural diagram in comic sans.

The problem is that a lot of people will use it for the entire process, like the research papers that got published with "as a large language model I don't have access to patient data but I can..." buried inside

Only the bad people who write promotional articles would trust this for the entire thing. Serial article creators know better

What do you mean, you think long-time article creators don’t understand verifiability policies?
