I mean, I'm looking at some of the like image output of these models that are trained on their own data right now. And we'll link these images in the show notes. But I'm looking at like somebody's handwriting of like zero to nine. And, you know, it's not perfect. It's handwriting. But like as it gets regenerated by the models over and over like 15 times, they're just dots, right?

Like they're not distinguishable. You can't even tell their numbers, like which one is which.

Okay. So like you said, you know, chat GPT isn't going to disappear tomorrow. What are researchers doing to avoid the problem of model collapse? Like as a computer scientist, what do you think the solution is?

Hey Short Wavers, before we get started, quick little favor to ask. Can you help us shape the future of Shortwave by completing a short anonymous survey? It's a chance for you to tell us about what you like and don't and how we can serve you better. It's an awesome responsibility, but I trust you. And we want to hear from everyone, whether you're a day one or brand new listener.
