I love love love model collapse. It's the absolute perfect conclusion to our Internet and this AI bubble.

The make AI. They realize that we're not ready for it. But short term profits overlook any and all ethical concerns. So they business bro and release anyway, unleashing a flood of slop and garbage content. All of which is impossible to tell if it is human made or not. But the only way to make their business continue is to train new models, which needs more human created content, of which they already destroyed and made imperceivable from their slop.

It's honestly just pure poetic justice. The ones who are hiring the next generation of AI models are AI companies.

The internet I loved died like 15 years ago anyway. It got replaced by ads and misinformation bots and hatred.

I'm still baffled about the expected outcome of replacing all content creation with AI for new events or ideas, like news articles.

If there are no humans to write the story first, where are the bots going to get the new information to plagiarize?

The incumbents have their training data that can also be used for the next generations of AI. This is just them helping others to pull up the ladder to avoid more competitors.

The open internet will become divided into verified websites, and the rest will be left for bots to fight on forever.

It will be used as an excuse by our governments to force a ID verification system tied to your real life person, refuse it and fight it in every possible way.

The Hapsburg chin of the digital age

Its almost like its predictable outcome of prediction algorithms being used to generate content

If AI replaces humans then why would they need to continue training them? You don't believe in the AGI hype do you? You don't think our system is about anything other than efficiently racing to the bottom, do you?

Besides, humans will always figure out a better way, a new way, a fresh take. And there's your training data.

I don't get why it says "training AI on AI content makes it dumb" when people literally use synthesized data to carefully tune models. Today. I'm sure they'll improve training by the time the internet is fully replaced.

This all assumes that it won't take a human-like AI to replace humans. Whatever replaces us will be pitiful, but it will be supported by our institutions, trillionaires, and enough personal data to create fun headlines like "Elon knows so much about you that if each datum was a grain of sand it would be bigger than Saturn!"

Mirrors face, fingers point.

I feel so bad for Gen Z. Their future looks so bleak.

How could they have ever known about the possibility of the thing that literally everyone everywhere told them almost immediately a couple of years ago when this fad really started charting (or perhaps sharting is more appropriate)?

Ah, so the technological singularity is here but it's in the opposite direction from what was expected as the technology takes over its own enshitification in an ever-accelerating manner.

I gotta wonder where do we go from here?

AI articles cost <$0.01. Human writers cost $10-$100.

Buying a (human) slave for $100 sounds way more profitable than renting an AI if you ask me.
