So, reading this article, it's not about model collapse, but about RAG - letting the AI model google the question essentially. The problem is, the first 10 pages of google search results are all low effort adfarming slop sites, because of course it is, which is making the answers from the AI worse, as these slop sites often have incorrect or otherwise unproofed articles, which biases the AI to fork out the wrong answer.
I'm sure the major AI services will try and fix this with some slop site detection routines.
Which will be run by AI ๐
Don't forget! A lot of the slop on those first few pages of results is AI-generated.
Ouroboros is a very apt moniker for this phenomena.
We need a new, stronger name for this. Like shit ouroboros, or shouroboros. Yes, AI eating it's own shit and then regurgitating it is shouroboros.
