[WARNING] juliawiki.com is AI generated phishing links and SEO spam, do not use it

In October 2023 a new website juliawiki.com was registered, since then it has had thousands of articles added which are clearly generated by AI, posted by bot accounts. If you look at the log of recently created articles, their themes vary widely and often have nothing to do with Julia, but they do often post links to other, less than savory sites advertising crypto or phishing links.

(remove the space after the first slash to make the link active)

Someone is clearly generating this entire site using ChatGPT, with no care as to accuracy or relevance, a lot of articles are in indonesian, but the whois says it is hosted in toronto, canada, though it is hosted by cloudfare with the owners name redacted. My best theory is that it is used to generate SEO by hosting links to other sites, there may potentially be more wikis like this for other languages, if you know of one let me know.

Either way, do not use this site, and advocate for it being taken down or warned against by JuliaComputing, it is at best useless and spreads misinformation, and at worst is actively dangerous and may contain harmful links or perform illegal data harvesting of its users.
