Navigating the AI-Generated Content Labyrinth: A Quest for Quality
The dawn of an AI-generated internet, once whispered as a distant possibility, has firmly taken root in our digital landscape. The proliferation of content birthed from the digital minds of AI, such as ChatGPT, heralds an era where the vast expanses of the internet risk being saturated with homogeneous, unreliable, and, frankly, uninspiring content.
This phenomenon, termed "model collapse," threatens the diversity and authenticity that have long been the internet's hallmarks. I wrote a deep-dive about this problem last year, see here. As AI models recursively feed on each other's output, the resulting echo chamber not only diminishes the richness of online discourse but also casts a shadow over the reliability of information proliferating in the digital realm.
