Please refrain from making edits generated using a large language model (an "AI chatbot" or other application using such technology) to Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Leaky integrator, as LLM-generated content is prohibited on Wikipedia. Your edits have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Thank you. ‑‑gurkubondinn 07:19, 17 September 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for the notice. I was not aware of the March 2026 change to the policy on LLM-generated text. The edits were LLM-assisted, but I did not simply copy generated text into the article: I checked the subject, reviewed the cited sources, corrected a number of conceptual issues during drafting, and tried to improve both the explanation and the article's integration with related topics. I understand that this does not make the edits compliant with the current policy, and I will restrict LLM use on English Wikipedia to research and source discovery in the future.

That said, I am disappointed that the edits were reverted wholesale, because I believe a substantial amount of useful work was removed along with the LLM-generated wording: relevant sources had been added, broken or unclear material had been corrected, and connections to RC circuits, exponential smoothing, and the physical interpretation of leaky integration had been developed and checked.

I am also somewhat frustrated that the revert restored an obviously corrupted earlier version of the article, containing strings such as `192.168.1.1`, repeated numbers, malformed headings, equations, and citation markup. It is unfortunate that this plainly damaging edit appears to have attracted less scrutiny than my good-faith attempt to repair and expand the article.

I am not asking for the LLM-generated prose to be restored contrary to policy. I would, however, appreciate it if the useful sourced changes and the pre-existing vandalism/corruption could be considered separately rather than treating the entire edit history as a single issue.

Thank you for clarifying the rules. I understand that the current guidelines do not permit the use of LLM-generated content, even if I verify the output myself; I will keep this in mind.

However, I would like to explain why I used ChatGPT in this instance. I am well-versed in differential equations, electrical circuits, and signal processing, so I am confident in my ability to verify the mathematical derivations and technical statements in this field. I used ChatGPT primarily for a few practical reasons:

1. English is not my native language; I needed help checking for grammar and natural phrasing.

2. Writing out numerous equations and expressions in LaTeX is a tedious process that I was trying to streamline.

3. Finding relevant literature. Specifically, I asked it to locate and cite educational materials I was already aware of (such as EPFL’s materials on leaky integration and the HKUST course on differential equations).

I was disheartened to see my entire contribution reverted. I am willing to rework the text in a sandbox and make the necessary adjustments to comply with the rules. If you noticed specific issues regarding the mathematical content, sources, structure, or treatment of the topic, I would appreciate your feedback. This would help me preserve the valuable parts of the work while correcting any actual errors. DDadyka (talk) 10:39, 17 September 2026 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed that your edits. on one of the first articles you worked on appears to have been carried out using a large language model (LLM), such as ChatGPT. While LLMs are powerful, machine-generated text often contains serious flaws. They may introduce bias, errors, plagiarism, libel, or even hoaxes. Specifically asking an LLM to "write a Wikipedia article" can sometimes cause the output to be outright fabrication, complete with fictitious references. For this reason, the use of AI tools for the creation or rewriting of article content, alongside their usage to generate images, sources or comments, save for a few exceptions, is generally prohibited. LLM-generated articles may be quickly deleted. If you are unsure about your wording, an alternative is to suggest it on the talk page for another volunteer to look at it. If you are creating a new article, you may use the Articles for Creation process to get feedback on your work.
