You have noticed it. ChatGPT feels dumber than it used to. Your prompts that worked six months ago produce worse results now. The writing sounds flatter. The ideas sound safer. The internet itself feels like it is shrinking. Every article reads the same. Every email sounds the same. Every answer sounds like it was written by the same voice.

You thought it was you. It is not you.

Researchers at Oxford and Cambridge published a paper in Nature proving what is happening. They call it Model Collapse.

Here is the mechanism in one sentence. AI trained on AI-generated data gets dumber every generation until it forgets what real human data looked like.

The internet is filling with AI-generated content. Blog posts. Articles. Reviews. Comments. Social media. AI companies scrape the internet to train the next generation of models. Which means the next generation of AI is being trained on the output of the current generation.

Each cycle loses information. Not randomly. It loses the rarest, most unusual, most creative parts first. The researchers call these the "tails of the distribution." The weird ideas. The unexpected perspectives. The things that made the internet feel human. Those disappear first.

What remains is the average. The safe. The expected. The bland.

Then the next generation trains on that. And loses more. And the next generation trains on that. And loses more. The researchers proved this is not a slow decline. Major degradation happens within just a few iterations. Even when some of the original human data is preserved.

They tested it on large language models. On image generators. On statistical models. The pattern was the same every time. The output converges toward a narrow, flattened version of reality that looks nothing like the original data.

The lead researcher put it plainly. "Large language models are like fire. A useful tool. But one that pollutes the environment."

The pollution is invisible. You cannot see which sentence on the internet was written by a human and which was written by AI. Neither can the AI that is about to train on it. And once the tails are gone, they do not come back. The damage is irreversible.

This is not a prediction anymore. It is a diagnosis.

The internet you grew up on was built by humans writing things no algorithm would have written. Strange, personal, imperfect, alive. That internet is being diluted. One generation of AI at a time. And the models trained on what remains are learning a smaller and smaller version of the world.

Model Collapse is not a technical problem. It is a cultural one. The thing that made the internet worth reading is the thing that disappears first.

@2154827 @LichTamara I had two so I could visit my mom. Never got COVID though

@NinaByzantina @SkyNews @SkyYaldaHakim Failed state LMAO!

Russia is getting beaten by a failed state!

The only thing more pathetic than Russia is Donald Trump!

@dlb_hickey Zero evidence of murdered children … just another attempt by the indigenous liars looking for more free money.

These lies killed reconciliation for me.

All indigenous funding in Canada should stop .. no more support for the reserves either!

[Murray @murrayla99]

@SheilaGunnReid @LichTamara If they start that shit then Canadians need to remove all obstructions.

The police won’t so us regular Canadians will have to stop them.

The enslavement and torture of indigenous people was a dark chapter in our past. There were 39 distinct slave trading tribes in pre-Columbian North America.

This indigenous history month, take a moment to learn about how your Canadian ancestors put an end to these horrific practices.

Excellent summary linked below.

@SeanCarleton There was no genocide in Gaza … if my neighbour did what they did I would not be as nice as Israel was. I would eliminate the threat including actors outside Gaza that support them.

@USAmbCanada Canada will never be part of USA - United Shithole of America!

Trumps a bitch

[Murray @murrayla99]

@NinaByzantina @EmmanuelMacron Both are better now than Russia has ever been though. So there is that.

[Michelle Rempel Garner @MichelleRempel]

For the record, @TerryGlavin and the @nationalpost wrote this article four years ago.

Their initial 2021 reporting also contained caveats that excavations would be needed for conclusive proof.

It took four years and the courage by outlets like the NP to get to this point.

@MelissaLMRogers @MarcScottEmery Aren’t you one of the clowns who claimed Carney was unelected and stole his majority via back room deals?

I think your ‘Truth’ is simple based on what you want to whine about at the moment. Such a clown

[The Reclamare @TheReclamare]

In 1993 the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples investigated Indian Residential Schools, and other issues

Interviews of Indigenous happened across the country but in the BC Interior, it happened at Kamloops Residential School🧵

@KatKanada_TM They should have said thank you for the closings they were offered
But no, give Natives and inch and they want a mile.

I’ve had enough … it’s time Canada and all Canadians said no.

The land belongs to all Canadians.

@FreeUkraine91 Strategic loss… United States already lost the war with Iran. Not smrt enough to realize it though

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

I dislike and mistrust all closed systems of thought

I particularly dislike Islam because it demands child marriage, female genital mutilation, the beating of
wives, the killing of infidels, the unending promotion of the worst aspects of the male ego, and a complete refusal to contemplate multiculturism

All of which are contrary to the values I hold

Are you telling me, Maliq, that this all is caused by a fear of the truth ?

[Jamie Sarkonak @sarkonakj]

Premier Danielle Smith said last week that she's open to amending the Constitution in light of how powerful Section 35 (Indigenous rights) has become. There's a serious opportunity here for course correction if enough premiers get on board. My column:

@APTNNews There is no proof that there are any graves. These “215 lies” are the end of reconciliation.

[Murray @murrayla99]

@hardyrenos @AreOhEssEyeEe It is simply because they work with and influence the government.

Too many of my Caucasian peers have given up and spend their time bitching on X

You want to make positive change for Canada? Then quit sitting around complaining and do something useful.

[The Real Mr Bench @therealmrbench]

5 years ago today, on May 27, 2021, Canada was told 215 bodies had been found at Kamloops.

Years later?

Still no confirmed bodies publicly produced from that original claim.

Now it is “anomalies.”

Ask questions, you get attacked.

Demand evidence, and politicians want to drag the Criminal Code into it.

Residential schools were real.

But asking for proof of a specific public claim is not hate.

The problem is not asking for proof.

The problem is selling a country a conclusion before proving it.
