AI fan wikis riddled with errors are muddying the waters of an already contested part of games culture

Generative AI tools are creating numerous inaccurate fan wikis that are flooding search results and crowding out legitimate community-run resources. Companies like Hooded Horse are struggling to combat these AI-generated sites, which often contain false information and even lead to spam or malware. This issue is particularly problematic for indie games with smaller playerbases, and it negatively impacts the reputation and stability of independent fan wikis.
