The internet is flooded with A.I.-generated content, with OpenAI alone producing about 100 billion words per day. This content ranges from restaurant reviews to news articles, with over a thousand websites spreading misinformation through A.I. generated articles. However, the real danger lies in A.I. systems being trained on their own output, leading to a decline in quality and diversity. This can result in A.I. inadvertently creating error-prone or biased content. To combat this, A.I. companies must prioritize high-quality, diverse data, and be cautious of relying too heavily on synthetic data. The future of A.I. depends on avoiding the pitfalls of A.I.-generated content.
