Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Lol, LMAO this is gonna be a disaster once the bubble crashes and current models undergo recursive degradation.
I do think LLMs are going to start getting worse once more data is fed into them. And then instead of admitting this. These companies will have so much capital they will just tune the AI to say exactly what they want it to every time. We already see some of this but it will get worse.
Reject LLMs branded as AI, retvrn to 9999999 nested if statements.
I've been hearing this for a while, has it started happening yet?
And if it did, is there any reason why people couldn't switch back to an older version?
I knew the answer was "Yes" but it took me a fuckin while to find the actual sources again
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.01850 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07566-y
the term is "Model collapse" or "model autophagy disorder" and any generative model is susceptible to it
as to why it has not happened too much yet: Curated datasets of human generated content with minimal AI content If it does: You could switch to an older version, yes, but to train new models with any new information past a certain point you would need to update the dataset while (ideally) introducing as little AI content as possible, which I think is becoming intractable with the widespread deployment of generative models.
Sometimes yeah you can see it. Not only with updates but within a conversation, Models degrade in effectiveness long before context window is reached. Things like image generation tend to get worse after >2 edits and even if the image seed is given .
