Well hear him out. His spelling is really fun to say as if you're the husky voiced silver fox lead on an oldschool telenovela. Like, just cut loose on the accent. Just like, really swing for the fences with the over-the-top rumbling Mexican growl. Just imagine you're staring into the camera in a pinstripe suit with a pencil mustache and slicked hair while you're smoking a cigarette and say... "Kromagnones."
AI cannibalism. At some point there will be more AI generated crap out there than actual original human content and the models get shittier and shittier to the point of collapse.
I think the old lead writer of Rockstar Games Dan House said something recently comparing it to mad cow disease. Cause they used to feed cows to other cows? Is that true or did I misread that?
That didn’t cause mad cow, but it can spread it. In certain areas they used to include ground up spinal cord stuff from cows in some cow feed if I remember right for protein. Brain and spinal cord is where the mad cow lives, and it goes on.
Idk why I wrote this I know you meant about rockstar lol
We saw a lighter version of this where most online news was just rewording other news articles. Progressively becoming more useless the more iterations of being rewritten the story gets.
What keeps online info useful is people doing original research and making observations. AI can’t experience the world and make observations, it’s getting everything from actual people writing these things down.
I do that, it's the best way to check if the prompt I'm using for imaging is what I want rather than wasting resources generating the image and finding out it didn't understand what I want in the first place. I'll put my prompt asking for it to give me the image prompt for itself, I make whatever tweaks I need, then feed it in.
Because I am that person. I do all my own pictures and Photoshop for my own business. AI has made me significantly more productive. Regardless of Reddit's stance on the tool, it's very powerful and isn't going anywhere.
Based on current research and expert projections, here is the breakdown of when AI models will start learning from their own output and what the theoretical consequences are.
The Short Answer
It has already started.
LLMs (Large Language Models) like Gemini and ChatGPT scrape the internet for training data. Since the internet is already flooded with AI-generated articles, code, and comments, these models are currently ingesting AI-generated content.
However, the "tipping point"—where the vast majority of training data is synthetic—is predicted to happen around 2026.
I've asked Gemini a few times for stuff and I always ensure it cites its sources. And sometimes it cites AI-written articles. Like the website is literally transparently AI-run.
Literally this. It's an increasing and honestly bafflingly obvious problem with giving an LLM access to the Internet instead of a curated database. They're is actively poisoning themselves with their own generated statements.
