Can AI Models Collapse?

In a startling revelation, recent research highlights that AI Language Models can collapse when trained on recursively generated data. This phenomenon, known as model collapse, is a degenerative process where AI models begin to misinterpret reality due to the accumulation of polluted data. The study underscores the critical need for AI developers to preserve access to original, human-generated data and emphasizes the importance of community-wide coordination to prevent this cascading failure in future AI generations.
