It's increasingly clear that with AI tools being trained based on leeching content from the internet, and the internet getting absolutely filled with AI created content, this will just create a non-sensical loop that eventually will either really slow down AI development and boost the price of custom tailored data sets, or customer-facing generative AI will implode and become really bad to the point of being mostly ignored.
