Summary
Researchers highlight a looming challenge in the AI industry: the scarcity of human-written training data for machine learning models. Due to the exponential pace at which computing capabilities are growing—outstripping the availability of new textual data—AI tools from companies like OpenAI and Google risk a future where they can't improve their models effectively. This potential shortfall could force a shift towards using AI-generated data for training, which may degrade the quality of AI outputs. The debate continues about whether advancements in AI efficiency could mitigate this issue, preventing an "AI ouroboros" scenario where models recursively train on their own generated content.
