Hi, Sydney! Your topic, FaceApp’s AI Transformation Feature, sounds very interesting and great for a Wiki article! Currently, it appears that you have not reached the 3000 word limit so make sure to reach that checkpoint for your final draft (it can be 100 words more or less). You are currently at about 435 words with headers. It appears that you have a structure for what you want to discuss in terms of introduction, features, and history sections. You have done a good job of explaining to the reader where this feature lives and what the purpose of it is. As this will be your opening paragraph, I believe it would be in your best interest to include more overview information about the application (FaceApp) and AI feature, perhaps naming some of the features you will go into detail about later in the article. It is important to provide adequate context before expanding on the history and specific features. You have a good outline for what you want to include in the body of your article. I think from a structural perspective, it would flow better to have the introduction summarizing AI transformation feature, then going into the details of the history of the app and how the feature came about, and then discussing the nuisances and specific “features” within the AI Transformation Feature. This way, the reader will have overview context and history before they get into the nuances of the feature. It appears that you have a section for references and have included one! I am sure as you continue to develop your article, you will have more sources to include under references. Keep in mind that it would be beneficial to include in text citations with numbers and number your references as well to maintain structure and cohesiveness. Additionally, maybe instead of blocking all the features into one big paragraph, you can list them and have mini paragraphs for each. That way, the reader will be able to follow the flow better and text will not get lost in the mass of a large paragraph. I appreciate the detail that you have provided so far!

In terms of identifying the ethical concerns, I am able to pick up on the jist from your features paragraph. I think that you should include an additional section that clearly states and discusses the ethical concerns of the transformation feature. Through your explanations, I can see the controversy, but as you continue to develop your article, the ethical concerns should be clearly articulated with examples. A good way to do this is by referencing the features you’ve discussed because I believe they provide excellent evidence of the unethical nature of this transformation feature. As you explain these concerns, make sure to reiterate why these are important claims and concerns to be brought up. You are on the right track!

So far, you have written this article objectively. As you continue to develop your ideas, make sure to view both sides of the argument. There are some people, for example the creators of the feature, that could believe that it would bring more good than hard. There are also some people who think the opposite and are thinking about the multitude of ethical concerns. While you explore both of these sides, make sure to not include your own opinion as this article should remain objective. I also believe that, as I said earlier, explaining the history before the features will give you an avenue to explain the context before digging deeper into the ethical controversy which heavily revolves around the specific features of the AI Transformation Feature. Also, make sure that you include references for all the information you are collecting from both sides.

Overall, this is a great start! You have a great topic, and I am excited to read about the controversy. I also wanted to commend you on including a picture; it really helps with visualization! Good luck, Sydney!
