Will this become a slippery slope if it gets out of control

I can only see this ending badly. Wikiedia already can't manage their deletionist problem.

This is probably the lesser of evils, more likely than not. That said, I'm still using AI to write articles lol. I use AI to generate proposed edits, usually from provided references. That way it's less free form. I try and run them through two or three models, since I have found they're best when critiquing material from other models. References themselves are often uncovered by AI, or at least AI-backed Google Books. I also use AI to fact check material from other editors.
