Why? That’s how they’ve been doing it for 25 years.

Spelling/grammar checking and machine translation have been in use for decades on wikipedia, the only difference is that AI has improved the usefulness of the tools for first-pass editing. I don't believe the policy has even changed - you still had to be fluent in the language if you were using the old style MTL tools, too.

Aside from generating videos of young girls with gigantic titties, this is the only thing generative AI is actually useful for.
