Earth System Models are crucial tools for predicting environmental changes, helping us better prepare for the future. However, these models have extremely high computational demands, limiting their operation at fine enough resolutions. Currently, most models operate at a resolution of approximately 100 kilometers, equivalent to the size of Hawaii, making accurate predictions for specific regions difficult. Nevertheless, for practical applications such as agriculture, water resource planning, and disaster response, city-scale prediction accuracy around 10 kilometers is vital. Therefore, improving the resolution of these models is essential for better protection.

Recently, Wikipedia announced the suspension of a pilot experiment using artificial intelligence technology to generate article summaries after strong opposition from many editors. It was reported that this experiment was launched earlier this month and mainly targeted users who had installed the Wikipedia browser extension and chosen to participate. AI-generated summaries would appear at the top of each Wikipedia article with an "unverified" yellow label, which required clicking to expand and read. However, this new attempt immediately triggered fierce criticism from editors, who were concerned about the potential impact of this practice.
