People who love tech often try to do things on their own, like hosting their own apps to avoid paying for cloud services. But sometimes, they do things just for fun, not because they need to. One of these fun projects is a self-hosted wiki that makes up most of its content. It's like a game where the rules are thrown out the window, and the AI just makes stuff up as it goes along.

This wiki is different from regular ones because it doesn't rely on real people to write and check facts. Instead, it uses a local AI model that generates content on the spot. It's like having a friend who tells wild stories, and you can't tell if they're true or not. The more you read, the more you realize how creative the AI can be, even if it's not accurate.

The wiki is called Endless Wiki, and it's exactly what the name suggests. You can keep clicking on different topics, and the AI will generate new pages with made-up information. It's like a never-ending game of "what if? " The AI doesn't have any guardrails, so it can say anything it wants. It's a bit like a kid who makes up stories in class, and no one knows enough to call them out on it.

But is this kind of misinformation a good thing? On one hand, it's fun and shows how AI can be creative. On the other hand, it's important to remember that not everything on the internet is true. The wiki is a good reminder to always question what you read and to think critically.

AI models like the one used in Endless Wiki can be useful for other things too, like helping with voice commands or image recognition. But right now, there isn't a clear reason why everyone needs to use them. Maybe in the future, there will be a better use for AI, but for now, it's mostly just a fun toy to play with.
