A.I. “slop” can become a threat to A.I. itself
The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence has posed a conundrum: If A.I. learns from the internet, and the internet starts containing more artificially generated content, will A.I. start ingesting its own output? Researchers I spoke to described an unintentional feedback loop that can reduce the quality and diversity of A.I.-generated content in the long run.
While reporting for this article, I trained a generative A.I. to mimic handwritten numbers. At first, these A.I.-generated reproductions weren’t bad. But as I repeatedly fed this A.I. its own output, I was amazed to watch as its drawings became increasingly incoherent and blurry. This was a genuine “aha” moment that illustrated the central problem that researchers had described — one that they are working on ways to solve. — Aatish Bhatia
