Are you familiar with the Voynich Manuscript? A 600 year old codex that illustrates and catalogues a whole bunch of plants that do not exist and have not been illustrated/described in any other document. A leading theory is that the book was meant to be a work of fiction about plants in a different world.
Anyway, imagine a collaborative 21st century fiction on a wiki that’s basically that. Thousands of people working on a shared universe where cryptids and paranormal beings exist, and are being contained by a foundation, and no-one breaks the 4th wall to let the reader know this is an elaborate network of fiction. Now, imagine if predictive text machine that burns forests gets a hold of this website. Now imagine if a billionaire is crashing out on Twitter because GPT started talking in the style of the fictional cryptid wiki.
