I think that's actually proved by the model collapse phenomenon.

So I'm amazed that AI companies are going around talking about synthetic data still when there's so much evidence that it doesn't work.

I think they just pay people to make it.

I think there's already a gigantic industry of writers who are writing for AI, musicians who are

making music for AI.

After I published this story, I got an email from a company that is doing this.

They claim to have paid creators over $10 million just to make things for AI training.

It's very strange, but AI as your audience is the next frontier for creators.

I certainly hope not.

I don't think so.

I think we can have a conversation and arrive at a more reasonable future for ourselves and the culture.

Thank you, David.

It was great.
