It makes little sense for someone to contribute to a knowledge base like this one.
One of the quotes from the home page - supposedly written by a person who's tried it out - is as follows:
"18 years later, a startup to take on @Wikipedia --> @golden" [0]
This really confuses me. What exactly would it mean to take on Wikipedia in a meaningful sense? You'd have to build the community of Wikipedia with the same kind of values and ethics governing it, then you'd have to get the novel software (the "AI" thing they claim to be using) implemented in a way that doesn't violate said ethics, nor lowers the quality of the information.
Seems like it'd be much better just to work towards putting the AI into use at Wikipedia. Whatever innovation does end up resulting from this company, it will likely get lost if/when it gets acquired, so in the end few if any people will be able to enjoy its benefits.
