"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

I was all like "Yeah, suck it AI! You will never be better than the average person!" But then...

Welcome to Garbage In/Garbage Out (GIGO). Formally, in AI circles, this is known as AI model collapse. In an AI model collapse, AI systems, which are trained on their own outputs, gradually lose accuracy, diversity, and reliability. This occurs because errors compound across successive model generations, leading to distorted data distributions and "irreversible defects" in performance. The final result? A Nature 2024 paper stated, "The model becomes poisoned with its own projection of reality."

Oh, so basically the same kind of thing as conservatives huffing their own propaganda. Maybe AI is a solid reflection of our worst traits.

Then I remembered that we solved that issue with computers already by having output be consistent and reliable.

This applies to any insular group of humans, not just conservatives. But that is a particularly amusing example, in a laugh-so-you-don't-cry sort of way.
