     LLMs generate text using opaque algorithms that even their designers struggle to control. Wikilambda makes every part of every algorithm available to anyone. In short, Wikilambda is contestable. If you ask an LLM to generate an article on a topic, the only way to contest its algorithm is to click 👍 or 👎. If you are unhappy with an article generated by Abstract Wikipedia, you will be able to: change the “abstract” content in Wikidata; change the algorithms that construct or render the article in Wikifunctions; or sever the connection between the article and Abstract Wikipedia, and edit the article the old-fashioned way in Wikipedia.
