My teachers used to say the same about Wikipedia.
I did edit heavily, this is 3 outputs combined including a fact check this using Wikipedia
It does not fail on such basic questions, “fact check this:” in a new instance works more reliably then asking a human.
I think the hate is a bit unwarranted, but be wary that it does sometimes fail anything
and they’re correct about not using wikipedia as a source, you use wikipedia as a summary and then verify the information in the ACTUAL sources it cites

Equus simplicidens, also known as the Hagerman horse, lived around 4 million years ago in North America and is considered an ancestor of modern horses, zebras, and donkeys[3][5]. These animals relied on speed, stamina, and herd behavior for protection against predators such as early wolves and big cats[3]. Their survival was supported by strong social structures and collective awareness[3]. Over time, Equus species migrated to other continents via land bridges[4]. They eventually went extinct in North America around 10,000 years ago during the Pleistocene extinction event[1][2][4]. Horses were later reintroduced to the continent by humans in the late 15th century[4].

I have no doubt that the majority of LLM models have trained on Wikipedia articles

I do have a custom instruction to use Wikipedia as a source where possible.

Just link the Wikipedia.

Yes. If you check the other top Google results you’ll frequently find the articles they plagiarized.
