ChatGPT polluted the world forever, like the first atom bomb
Shortly after the debut of ChatGPT, academics and technologists started to wonder if the recent explosion in AI models has also created contamination.
Their concern is that AI models are being trained with synthetic data created by AI models. Subsequent generations of AI models may therefore become less and less reliable, a state known as AI model collapse.
With AI model-makers spewing more and more generative AI data on a daily basis, AI startups will find it harder to obtain quality training data, creating a lockout effect that makes their models more susceptible to collapse and reinforces the power of dominant players. That’s their theory, anyway.
