The real test is the creation rate for those projects.

From your list, I think most were started 15-20+ years ago[1] so your argument isn't contradicting the original point.

[1] Both OSM and TV Tropes were started 22 years ago.

The food shelf I volunteered at yesterday is a lot more than 20 years old. There'll probably be another Wikipedia, because we already have Wikipedia. There's no point in having a second. Assembly for other things listed. We have one. Why would we need a second one to do that?

I don't know what the future will be, but the future people who live in it will know and they're going to do something. I can say that with confidence, even without knowing exactly what they're going to do.

Given how Grokipedia is built, TFA’s point of “by humans” seems to be made all that much more.
