The article mentions "Most strong Computer Go programs since 2008 do not actually use Benson's algorithm." But the KataGo paper mentions it uses "Self-play games used Tromp-Taylor rules [21] modified to not require capturing stones within pass-aliveterritory4" In a footnote it is clarified they use Benson's algorithm to establish pass alive groups. Is the Wikipedia article wrong?
