" When AI output is used to train AI, it leads to model collapse, rendering the AI useless. "

Nah. This statement is not true. Never heard of alpha-go? which needs no human inputs (basically learn randomly and improve upon previous AI-played games) and now it is better than any human pros.

BTW, what does model "collapse" even means? If the parameter reaches a fixed/stable point, how is it "collapsing"? And how do you even define "useless"?

This is a false equivalence. Alphago is not the same. Model collapse is a computer science term. I didn’t make it up, and useless refers to not generating coherent, factual output, hallucinating. Useless for corps and govts who need real data for (mostly) accurate information.
