    Ep.169: AI's Self-Inflicted Wound: Models Degrade as They Consume AI-Generated Data
    Sep 29 2025
    This deep dive examines the growing concern of "AI data cannibalism," where AI models are increasingly trained on content generated by other AI systems. This practice is leading to a significant degradation in AI performance, a phenomenon termed "model collapse." A key issue identified is Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), a technique designed to enhance AI knowledge, which paradoxically exacerbates the problem by exposing models to a vast amount of inaccurate and low-quality AI-generated data on the internet. Consequently, AI systems utilizing RAG are producing more "unsafe" responses, including misinformation and offensive content, posing a substantial threat to the future reliability and safety of AI applications. This underscores the urgent need for the industry to discover sustainable and ethical sources of high-quality human-generated training data to prevent a widespread systemic failure in AI development.
