Who needs human when you have AI :p
LLMs need updated training data to stay relevant.
And how exactly are you going to curate high quality data when it’s in the orders of tb’s or even petabytes?
LLMs need updated training data to stay relevant.
Yes. So add relevant new data along with the older stuff. The problem is not that AI-generated content is magically “poison” somehow. Model collapse happens when you lose rare data from repeated generations of training data generated by AIs.
A simple way to imagine it is training an AI by showing it random coloured marbles out of a bucket and then asking it to fill the next AI’s bucket with new marbles to train on. If there’s just one single blue marble in the first bucket then it’s easily possible that the AI will fail to put a blue marble in the second bucket, after which there will never be a blue marble again if that’s all that subsequent AIs have to train off of. But if each time you train a new AI you reuse half the marbles from the first bucket again, you can have that blue marble show back up again in future AIs.
If LLMs are as revolutionary as the zealots believe, then there will exist less and less blue marbles in the universe with each iteration. So either the bucket gets smaller or the ratio of blue marbles gets smaller.
I said:

The original bucket containing the blue marble isn’t going anywhere. It still exists. The blue marble will always be available to mix into future AIs. All you have to do is make sure you’re using some historical data (or otherwise guaranteed “human-generated”) along with whatever new unvetted stuff you’re using.
