If training on AI-generated text results in "model collapse" when AI models do it, I wonder what happens when humans do it.
Societal collapse.
Holy shit maybe that's what's been happening since the invention of mass media.
A form of group-think. A tendency towards absolute extremes. Like falling into a black hole.
I mean, we are genuinely fucked, aren't we? I mean we are, there is nothing we can do to stop this, because even if we do, not only is the damage already done, we have dug the pit so deep that if we remove one piece of the jenga tower, it will all collapse and bury us all underneath.
