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.

we used to call it GIGO
@samiamsam @KimSJ @glynmoody Yep. Only in this case, on an industrial scale - and then we feed all that garbage *back in* to the machines and get even worse garbage back out.
We keep doing this until everything is garbage.

I proposed at an early point in this farce that regulators should mandate that any content produced by AI must be tagged as such. This would have allowed future AI iterations to disregard it. Sadly, I think that ship has well and truly sailed now.

Magnus Ahltorp@KimSJ @ApostateEnglishman @samiamsam @glynmoody These kind of rules never stopped spam, though. Companies will just ignore it, just as they are ignoring any form of privacy legislation.
