I like stuff. Ao3: @PureUnAdulterated_Pi Currently reading: Can Ci Pin (The Defectives) by Priest, Blade of the Immortal by Hiroaki Samura

Leaving a pinned post so I can put all my fic links here <3 (will be updated soon!)

A group of researchers from the UK and Canada have looked into this very problem and recently published a paper on their work in the open access journal arXiv. What they found is worrisome for current generative AI technology and its future: "We find that use of model-generated content in training causes irreversible defects in the resulting models."
"Over time, mistakes in generated data compound and ultimately force models that learn from generated data to misperceive reality even further," [...] "We were surprised to observe how quickly model collapse happens: Models can rapidly forget most of the original data from which they initially learned."

So, in short: AI models could either stagnate or collapse entirely because as more AI-generated stuff gets uploaded to the internet, the more it bleeds into the training data for AI models

There is hope yet!

This essentially makes training new Ai models or improving already existing ones impossible, because it's like making a copy of a copy of a copy

Apparently, it's also happening with AI "art"

Mark my words, this time next year, AI will be as relevant as NFTs and crypto are right now.

And yes, Ai might feel a different from all the other tech buzzword bandwagons of the past few years. But I am pretty confident that's only because there aren't any a huge financial or technological hurdles to using it.

For crypto, you needed quite a bit of money and tech knowledge, same with NFTs. And even if you had both, this stuff seemed rightfully fucking pointless to most people.

To use Ai, you just had to go to a free website and type in a few words, and it even seems pretty useful to your average Joe who has yet to notice that the Ai constantly makes shit up.

Also, good luck replacing writers with something that can't even do basic fucking math.
