I've similarly wondered if I could get a pre-2024 Wikipedia if just for the "fact based" flavor LLM

Do you think Wikipedia starting in '24 was polluted by AI slop? This is certainly possible, I'm just not aware of it happening.

Wikipedia periodically publishes database dumps and the Internet Archive stores old versions: https://archive.org/search?query=subject%3A%22enwiki%22%20AN...

Plus you could also grab the latest and just read the 12/31/23 revisions.

It was already slop, let's not pretend it is significantly different today.

What happened to wikipedia in 2024?
