Anyone who has made copies of videotapes knows what happens to the quality of each successive copy. You're not making a "treasure trove." You're making trash.

Having now flooded the internet with bad AI content not surprisingly its now eating itself. Numerous projects that aren't AI are suffering too as the quality of text reduces.

is it not relatively trivial to pre-vet content before they train it? at least with aigen text it should be.

It's like a human centipede where only the first person is a human and everyone else is an AI. It's all shit, but it gets a bit worse every step.

Deep fired AI art sucks and is a decade late to the party

Good riddance.

I was very interested in the thumbnail of this post so I did a little digging and found this: The PDF to the Paper where the whole picture is

Wow, it's amazing that just 3.3% of the training set coming from the same model can already start to mess it up.

"Model collapse" is just a fancy way of saying "our stupid ideas are bad and nobody wants them."

Sooner or later it is supposed to happen, but I don't think we are quite there....Yet.

Usually we get an AI winter, until somebody develops a model that can overcome that limitation of needing more and more data. In this case by having some basic understanding instead of just having a regurgitation engine for example. Of course that model runs into the limit of only having basic understanding, not advanced understanding and again there is an AI winter.

Our wetware neutral networks probably aren't supposed to engage with synthetic content like this either. In a few years we're gonna learn that overexposure to AI generated content creates some sort of neurological problem in people, like a real-world "nerve attenuation syndrome" (Johnny Mnemonic).
