Already in 2013 we had discussions of machine assisted writing, web crawlers fetching information to write articles, and #Wikipedia becoming/being obsolete. It might have stood a chance against #AI, #Grok, #Grokipedia (etc.) had it devised new forms of #lexicography.

Instead Wikipedia kept relying on three features:
• It organised information in the outdated format of print (dictionary, lemma, article, etc.)
• It kept depending upon the concept of multiple tiny content donations by volunteers (like small donations to charities).
• It treated every language version of Wikipedia as a distinct and isolated enyclopedic project, without automated translation and amendment of entries between different language versions.

All three features make Wikipedia an obsolete lexicographical and organisational concept. That doesn't mean it hasn't had immense benefits as a sociological phenomenon and as learnig experience for people to act collaboratively. But these times are gone now.
