I think number of "active Wikipedia editors" is more important than number of "active Wikipedia users"
"AI search" might cause a decline in active users, but I cannot see how "AI search" would cause a decline in Wikipedia editors
Many Wikipedia editors are responsible for low traffic pages. I would imagine they are motivated to maintain these pages due to interest in the subject matter not interest in web traffic
