A study of Wiki Education assignments examines how LLM use is changing student writing and Wikipedia as a public knowledge commons.
- The dataset covers Fall 2015 to Spring 2025 and includes 500k+ edits across 57,640 articles.
- The authors estimate LLM adoption with an interrupted time series around ChatGPT’s release and a course-level dose-response model.
- They find rapid adoption, reaching about 20% by Spring 2025.
- LLM-assisted writing is associated with longer and more structured additions, but also lower readability.
- The paper reports signs of weaker epistemic integrity, including higher revert rates and more references needed.
The study suggests LLMs are already reshaping student writing at scale, with mixed effects on the quality of public knowledge.
