> AI is perfectly suited to fixing this problem. I recently spent several hours rewriting a somewhat important article. I did not add or subtract information from the article, I simply made it clearer and more concise.

I'm confused by this. Is this written by an AI?

This pile of words is missing a verb.

"You" (whoever that is, human or not) edited a single article, and that experience convinced you that "AI is perfectly suited to fixing this problem"?

Ironically, the lack of evidence to support such a strong assertion is one of the key problems with AI writing in general.

The idea that you could edit an article extensively without adding or subtracting information is facile. I would love to see this edit.

Hard to explain the hostility here. I simply outlined my opinion ("take") and backed it up with reasons. I have been a Wikipedia editor for well over 20 years. That should not be relevant to my argument.
