Passage 99th Day: “AI is efficiently churning out fake books on how to get rich quick or to how to code quick. Once you’ve found an AI author on Amazon, with fake face and fake bio, then Amazon will recommend you a range of other fake AI authors. AI can churn out books in the blink of an eye. If you write a popular book, AI will efficiently write fake workbooks to accompany your book, riddled with lies and errors. When a celebrity or even semi-celebrity dies, the next morning AI will have a book published on them, full of lies, misquotes and misinformation. This flood of low-quality and fake content from AI is particularly affecting minor languages, which don’t have a lot of original content published on the Web to begin with. A lot of content initially gets written in major languages such as English, and then, if it is translated at all into minor languages, it is usually done by machine translation. AI acts as a type of hyper machine translation. These minor languages then become overwhelmed by AI translations and other fake AI content.’ “We find that indiscriminate use of model-generated content in training causes irreversible defects in the resulting models in which tails of the original content distribution disappear." AI begins to feed on itself, to train and learn from its own crap. They call this “model collapse” because the data will get worse & worse and all sorts of weird things will begin to happen. If AI were a digestive system, it would have no capacity to poop"
