Fun fact: Fandom was co-founded by Jimmy Wales
"On February 4, 2026, Jay Sullivan was named the new CEO. In a public statement following the arrival of Fandom's new CEO, the company's president, Jimmy Wales, mentioned that they intend to incorporate additional AI tools into Fandom Wikis to adapt to internet searches". No comment.
It was certainly an interesting way to squander much of the good will generated by being a wikipedia founder. On the other hand, fandom made him rich, so it's all swings and roundabouts
