    Ben and the team of 40 Wikipedia editors split from the site to create the separate AARoads Wiki

    So they’ve created a secondary source that now can be referenced in Wikipedia. Good for them.

    In the near term, the secession harms not just Wikipedia itself, which needs robust road information…

    Does it? It’s an encyclopedia, not a map.

    …but also generative A.I. tools that rely on Wikipedia as training data.

    Ah right, because people want a single stop source for AI training without bothering about training dataset copyrights… is that it?
