AI agents editing Wikipedia?

Hi all,

I am asking this question here as I am interesting in the technical part of
it. *Have you encountered/heard of AI agents who edit Wikipedia like a
human?*

I recently saw a significant number of new article creations through VE
with a very peculiar edit description. The exact text varies a bit, but the
gist is the same: an emphasis on the existence of sources (although the
text does not always have them). I'm 99% sure that AI has been used for
writing the text and the similar description made me think of automation.
However, I would have expected an agent to try and use the API to publish
the article, so the VE tag confused me, thus my question.

As a follow up question, if indeed there is an agent out there using VE to
edit, would it be possible to detect it?

Thanks,
   Strainu
