About this data
This page tracks the expansion of AI-generated image descriptions on Wikipedia, measuring how their length increases over time. It records median and 90th percentile character counts, as well as the proportion of descriptions exceeding 500 characters. The data reveals the growing verbosity and potential low-value content introduced by automated descriptions in knowledge curation.
Why this isn't published anywhere else
While there are academic papers and datasets tracking AI-generated content in Wikipedia (e.g., Brooks et al.), none specifically measure the 'bloat rate' of AI-generated file descriptions over time as a dedicated metric.
Uniqueness score 0.80 — assessed against live web search results when this subject was created.
