It may be that AI made Wikipedia worse (I have no idea), but Wikipedia itself made several changes in the last 5 years which I hate. The "temporary account" annoys me; the strange side bars that are now the new default also annoy me. Yes, they can be hidden, but why are they shown by default? I never want them; I don't want to use them either. And some discussion pages can not be modified either - I understand that main articles can not so easily be changed, but now discussion pages as well? This happened to me on a few pages, in particular for "ongoing events". Well, I don't even visit ongoing events at a later time usually, so I give feedback or I WANT to give feedback, then I move on. With that changed policy, I can now skip bothering giving any feedback, so Wikipedia becomes less interesting as I give feedback on the QUALITY - what to improve. And so forth. It is really sad how different people can worsen the quality of a project such as Wikipedia. Wikipedia is still good, but it was better, say, 6 years ago.
