A Wikipedia Moment of Ouch

Excerpt from a NYT mag interview with Douglas Hofstadter:

NYT: Your entry in Wikipedia says that your work has inspired many students to begin careers in computing and artificial intelligence.

DH: I have no interest in computers. The entry is filled with inaccuracies, and it kind of depresses me.

NYT: So fix it.

DH: The next day someone will fix it back.

Not that I'm I Wikipedia hater, but it is a little irritating that it comes up first for so many Google searches.
