Give it a week and see what Google AI Overview has to say about the Great Pigeon Census of 1887!

google is already on it when asking about "The Great Pigeon Census of 1887" using 1886 or 1888 makes Google correctly identify that no such sensus exist. asking about 1887 specifically makes Google refer to some supposed great effort to track passenger pigeon population mids of the species decline.

"Despite its failure, the Great Pigeon Census of 1887 is remembered as a cautionary tale..."

This type of writing is considered non-encyclopedic by Wikipedia standards as it injects superficial analysis. The imitation articles would look better without it. Maybe train on this article? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writing

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I tried it myself but I only get page generation failures https://halupedia.com/the-alien-wizard-war-of-1425

We went to sleep and woke up with no credits on lmm provider :( Vurrently working on that

It's working now and I have to say I love this. The whole project is whimsical and gives me a strong SCP vibe but (sometimes) without the creepypasta aspect. I was very pleased to see that articles generated from links retain the context of the page that created the link - and even refer back to the original page.

For example, the article from my original comment: https://halupedia.com/the-alien-wizard-war-of-1425 mentions the conflict arose due to https://halupedia.com/treaty-of-the-silent-orbit . The second page, once generated, mentions the significance this treaty had for the war from the first page.

update: Well, this was quite disappointing. I loaded the original site again to show a friend and it generated a completely new text with a completely different story and no reference to the second article. Would have been nice if these were permanent as I had originally assumed.

Why is this example non-encyclopedic? It's an informative, falsifiable statement that could be supported by a citation, like here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thongbu_Wainucha#:~:text=remem...

This is fantastic. I couldn't find any obvious way to search for a new page, but you can simply bang out any arbitrary URL slug and the new article will be hallucinated fresh, eg: https://halupedia.com/shortest-cave-in-the-world https://halupedia.com/echolocation-ability-in-spiders

https://halupedia.com/prehistoric-nazi-colony Edit: I've just run across the antisemitic defacement in the "stumble" feature and it makes the timing of my post appear pretty unfortunate. It's especially sad because the ability to create articles through URL slugs is super cool and I'd hate to see it removed.

Its amazing I clicked stumble once and got an "06 fuck Jews and Islamists", humanity is truly a marvel.
