First article I have reviewed where GPT-4 is credited. Nominated one day late (from the date it was moved into mainspace and 5x expansion began), but we are allowed to make exceptions per DYK rules (especially if it's just a matter of of 1–2 days). Long enough (1713 characters). Earwig says copyvio unlikely (highest match has 17.4% similarity). Has inline citations; would be nice if there were more independent secondary sources on the subject, but in light of the fact that he's a widely cited authority, it satisfies WP:ACADEMIC. QPQ is done. This leaves the hook, which I'm not 100% comfortable approving, mainly because the definition of "AI alignment" itself has no citation within the article; it's just asserted in the lead section. Could this be addressed somehow? (Come on, GPT!) Cielquiparle (talk) 05:41, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

Haha yeah GPT-4 was a real time saver – it's great for synthesizing information from different sources. I've added a citation for the definition of AI alignment, which comes from the Fortune article. Enervation (talk) 08:16, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

Approve. Personally I think the hook has one blue link too many (i.e. maybe "artificial intelligence" doesn't need its own link and you could link more words to AI alignment because only linking "align" is not very compelling), but I leave that to the various promoters, proofreaders, and admins to fix.

@Enervation: Could you please confirm whether you've actually checked the content generated by GPT-4 for accuracy? Cielquiparle (talk) 04:03, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Yes, I have. Enervation (talk) 04:25, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
