Draft:Iraqian economic influence in 2023[edit]

Draft:Iraqian economic influence in 2023 (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)​

Article created by ChatGTP or similar tool, with the typical issues: at first glance, it perhaps seems like a well-fleshed out article, but on closer look, it is a very dubious mix of unrelated tidbits and misinterpreted (or copyright-violated) sources. For example, the complete last paragraph of the lead has nothing to do with Iraq but is about the US.

The lead line "The goal of the American invasion of Iraq in 2003 was to end Saddam Hussein's [1]dictatorial rule and eliminate weapons of mass destruction (WMD)" is way too close to "U.S. forces invaded Iraq vowing to destroy Iraqi weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and end the dictatorial rule of Saddam Hussein."[1] and ignores the "oops, no WMD" issue.

"Increasing the progressiveness of payroll taxes, eliminating regressive exemptions, and strengthening tax and customs administration are just a few of the ways Iraq's economic policies aim to diversify government revenue." No, this is a close paraphrase of [2], a preliminary summary of an IMF report with recommendations, not an actual representation of "Iraq's economic policies". This line is followed by "Iraq's economy has been stabilized and reformatted by the Coalition Provisional Authority in accordance with market principles." Well, yes, in 2004, directly after the invasion. It has nothing to do with the previous statement or 2023. Don't get me started at the completely disjointed next sentence...

The next section, "the effects of the Federal Reserve's tightening monetary policy on US inflation in 2022" has nothing to do with this article.

Further: "Additionally, open-source intelligence methods like basic and advanced Internet search techniques can assist in comprehending the current circumstance and anticipating developments in the foreseeable future": sourced to this 2012 pdf, relevance here: zero. Why the section "the potential economic influence of Iraq in 2023" restarts nearly identical midway through is not clear, it repeats the same nonsense in different words.

Overall, it is a typical example of the goodlooking rubbish AI produces, and we should get rid of it. Fram (talk) 17:15, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - It would really be helpful if we had some type of essay that highlights the need to single out and delete AI-generated drafts or articles, since right now WP:NDRAFT would suggest that this be kept even though it's close to patent nonsense. I know there's been a huge discussion on the Village Pump about drafting some type of policy or guideline along those lines. --🌈WaltCip-(talk) 20:33, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
