i hope the AI that’s smarter than humans wants to be my friend 💕

are we actually experiencing more tornadoes than we used to, or does it just feel that way because we can see footage of every single one that happens?

@curmudgeonatlg @HaleyforMI it’s not, actually

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.

@abigail__222 bless you for that ♥️ i so wish i lived closer to you so i could actually help

@pinkazukibeans @Leahgreenb right??? why is that such a thing

@TinyWriterLaura we won them the pockets but they take it for granted

Your mother is a narcissist your father is emotionally stunted you're neurodivergent & you thought you'd die young, but you didn't.

i am so sick of trendy things. everything is a meaningless trend these days. why are people like this

[𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐞 ✨ @thmaist]

just spent so long agonizing over what i wanted to eat for dinner and after i finally decided and poured pasta sauce on my noodles i found something like black mold on the lip of the lid 😭 it looks like it could be fine? but no way am i taking chances

[Leah Greenberg says NO KINGS ❌👑 @Leahgreenb]

that's it, I've had enough of millennial slander. pockets in dresses are good, drinking out of mason jars is fun, side parts look nicer on most women, "Home" is a delightful song. everyone knock it off
