The Wikimedia Research Newsletter (via) Speaking of summarizing research papers, I just learned about this newsletter and it is an absolute gold mine:
The Wikimedia Research Newsletter (WRN) covers research of relevance to the Wikimedia community. It has been appearing generally monthly since 2011, and features both academic research publications and internal research done at the Wikimedia Foundation.
The March 2025 issue had a fascinating section titled So again, what has the impact of ChatGPT really been? pulled together by WRN co-founder Tilman Bayer. It covers ten different papers, here's one note that stood out to me:
[...] the authors observe an increasing frequency of the words “crucial” and “additionally”, which are favored by ChatGPT [according to previous research] in the content of Wikipedia article.
