“Model collapse” threatens to kill progress on generative AIs

Generative AIs start churning out nonsense when trained on synthetic data — a problem that could put a ceiling on their ability to improve.

        Are you confusing the Habsburg Dynasty with the Hindenburg?

          No, I just thought they were vaguely similar enough words to make a dumb internet joke.

            You’re right, that’s a good dumb internet joke. I’m just being needlessly pedantic today.

      I like to think of it like a Mad Cow or Kuru, you can’t eat your own species’s brains or you could get a super lethal, contagious prion disease.

        Prion diseases aren’t contagious.

        Edit: for the uninformed people that downvoted - clearly spelled out here https://www.merckmanuals.com/professional/neurologic-disorders/prion-diseases/overview-of-prion-diseases

          You can acquire it through direct contact, i.e. consuming prion-disease-contaminated meat. What would you call it?

            Contagious means you can get it from direct or indirect contact with another person or organism that is infected. Not from eating them.

            That is not possible with prion disease.

            Ingesting a Petri dish full of flu virus doesn’t make the Petri dish ‘contagious’.

            Also, that’s not what direct contact means when discussing contagion:

            https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7150340/

            Ingestion is not ‘direct contact’.

      If only the generated output also looked more and more like how inbred humans do.

      Like insane rambling from LLMs, and the humans generated by AI had various developmental disorders and the Habsburg jaw.
