AI fan wikis riddled with errors are muddying the waters of games culture

Eurogamer reports that AI-generated fan wiki sites, such as one for Nighthawks and a GameDB collection covering more than 20 games, are competing for search results and spreading false information about indie games. Hooded Horse CEO Tim Bender says the company has had to "play whack-a-mole" with these sites, while Independent Game Wiki Network member FlamingMojo says they have hurt wikis' reputation and that AI crawlers sent 7m requests to the Dune: Awakening Community Wiki in 30 days.
