Every time you ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Meta AI something, it’s most likely to pull from Wikipedia for the answer. So who’s writing those Wikipedia pages? In Toronto, a group announced an edit-a-thon to train people on how to edit Wikipedia and then edit pages together to push a pro-Palestinian, one-sided narrative. Wikipedia calls neutrality a core principle, but it has already banned eight editors from Israel-related topics, and one of its co-founders has said its “Gaza genocide” page breaks that rule. Wikipedia’s share of ChatGPT citations has fallen sharply since mid-2025, but it’s still among the most cited websites in AI answers. So when you ask AI about Israel, you’re getting an editor’s opinions and not facts. Remember, you can customize your AI to pull from the sources you trust. If facts matter to you, tell it to filter its sources and not use Wikipedia. #AI #Wikipedia #MediaBias
