Why GenAI might pose a risk to itself

In 2017, Facebook's AI bots Alice and Bob developed their own language, leading to the experiment's halt and sparking global AI concerns. A 2023 study highlights that large language models (LLMs) trained on synthetic data can suffer from Model Autophagy Disorder (MAD), degrading over time due to amplified biases and reduced novelty. Research also indicates that reliance on synthetic data may lower content quality and SEO performance, affecting digital content and AI model effectiveness.
