I bet they'll eventually get caught using coffee shop cameras and conversations for AI training, say it's for training a security product or something.
This is 100% the answer, the only solution to the model decay from LLM outputs overwhelming the web is to start collecting data IRL.
This is also why companies like OpenAI are desperately investing in 'AI wearables' that no-one wants. They have to get the unpolluted data from somewhere, and recording real conversations will at least mostly have come from actual humans instead of AI.
