Is it okay to remove half of FlightGear wiki to make it easier to process by AI?

This matter was brought to my attention by jakkos98, and I think no one
else noticed it yet.

User named 'Servo' on FGWiki, as well as possible second account "Airplane
Mode", edited HUNDREDS OF wiki articles, removing tables, data, authors,
etc.
Almost 200 000 bytes of data removed in less than 20 days claiming it is to
make it easier for AI to read the data !?

So for what reason does wiki exist, for people to share knowledge and keep
it archived for future or to make it nicer for AI because someone said so?

Since months we had problems with AI web crawlers literally ddos-ing the
FGwiki and now people want to make it easier for them to do it?

I have nothing against developing/getting knowledge WITH the usage of AI.
AI is a tool like any other, it is okay, what is not okay, is removing data
made by humans, for other humans, just because someone's AI' context window
is limited. Jesus Christ.

I contributed to FGwiki on many occasions and I find actions made by these
users disgusting and disrespectful.

As a side note, it's worth mentioning that the edits made by that user look
like it is an automated script with some LLM doing the changes, so I would
consider them as a POLLUTION to the real data created by users, a poison
to the accuracy of data.

As of 8th of August, almost every article has been modified by that
script/person, which is a serious concern for me, as data on FlightGear
Wiki can not be trusted as real, unaltered knowledge.

I appeal to FGWiki moderation to revert the damage caused by that person/AI
as soon as possible.

Kind Regards,
