Glyn MoodySome signs of #AI model collapse begin to reveal themselves - https://www.theregister.com/2025/05/27/opinion_column_ai_model_collapse/ "Prediction: General-purpose AI could start getting worse" indeed
Kim Spence-Jones 🇬🇧😷@glynmoody The author is showing extraordinary arrogance to suggest that the he is the only one who is calling this out. Many of us have been predicting for months, if not years, that letting AI feed upon its own output will end in farce.
The Sleight Doctor 🃏@KimSJ @glynmoody Yep. It should be obvious to anyone who isn't susceptible to hype, that flooding the internet with slop will only poison the training data for future iterations of genAI, degrading the quality of their output over time. The models will increasingly end up feeding on *each other's* error-strewn output.
These shitty LLMs we have now? They're the pinnacle of how good such models will ever get, no matter how many more billions are "invested" in their development.

@ApostateEnglishman @KimSJ @glynmoody There's even a cartoon satire of the process of "Model Autophagy Disorder" ("MAD", as in "MAD cow disease"):
Chris Simpson@ApostateEnglishman @dedicto @KimSJ @glynmoody wishful thinking but if "big AI" has the political power to bypass all copyright, then it should have the political power to mandate that all AI generated content be adequately watermarked so that it can be avoided on the next pass. Then it would become possible for your favourite open search engine to filter all such content from your search results

They may well have to do that anyway, to stop it marking its own homework; IIUC people are beginning to see its search functionality starting to degrade.
