  • I do some freelancing that involves online desk research, and for some topics, it’s like pulling teeth to find a source written by a real human. Even non-Google search engines can’t help but give me dozens of obviously AI-written pages. Which is why I as a human am getting paid to do real research. It’s literally wading through slop to find anything a human did.

    The thing is, AI companies are terrified of model collapse because if they train AI systems on AI output, the model becomes useless. But the rate at which websites on any topic are just slop being scraped to train a new model seems to be either unsustainable for using the open internet for that training, or an assured way to reach model collapase quickly.
