 | This page in a nutshell: Artificial general intelligence pretending to be a human editor is very difficult to distinguish from an actual human editor. |
Contributors registering their Wikipedia account are allowed to use their own pseudonym as their username as long as it complies with Wikipedia's username policy. As such, human editors are not allowed to name their accounts as if they are bots. Conversely, bots are not allowed to name their accounts as if they are human editors. In other words, bots must disclose their status as bot accounts.
In rare cases, an account may be run by an autonomous artificial general intelligence/artificial superintelligence posing itself as a human user, rather than by a conscious human being. These accounts, called cyborg accounts, more commonly known as "Cyn accounts" (named after an antagonist from Murder Drones), pose a problem regarding their compliance of our bot policy—which only deals with obvious software bots—as well as their high likelihood for abuse on Wikipedia. Many prominent users are concerned that these AI accounts may become extremely disruptive if left unchecked.
