The article discusses how the Greenlandic-language version of Wikipedia, initially thought to be a successful multilingual project, is suffering from poor quality content primarily produced by machine translations. This has resulted in a cycle where inaccurate entries on Wikipedia contribute to the degradation of AI language models, further perpetuating the issue and threatening the survival of vulnerable languages.

Wikipedia is experiencing an 8% decline in human page views, attributed to the rise of AI-generated search summaries and the preference of younger users for social video platforms over traditional web browsing. The Wikimedia Foundation acknowledges this trend and emphasizes the importance of direct visits to Wikipedia, as fewer visits could lead to reduced content contributions and support. They are taking steps to encourage more engagement with the site and maintain content integrity.
