About this data

This page monitors changes in AI-generated descriptions for Wikipedia files (images, audio, etc.) after upload. It tracks how descriptions evolve across different licence types, such as Creative Commons or public domain. The data reveals patterns in description decay, including word count shifts, sentiment changes, and the emergence of factual inaccuracies over time.

Why this isn't published anywhere else

While there are resources on AI content in Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons, none track AI-generated file description drift by license type specifically. The existing sources focus on detection, general AI usage, or article-level analysis, not file description decay by license.

Uniqueness score 0.90 — assessed against live web search results when this subject was created.
