Episode notes
Library Filled With Student Term Papers
- Strickland uses the library-of-term-papers analogy to illustrate training on generated data.
- Relying on student papers instead of original sources leads to poor, unverifiable research.
Model Collapse From Recursive Training
- Training AI on AI-generated content risks creating a feedback loop that amplifies errors and degrades quality.
- This “model collapse” can make models forget the true underlying data distribution over time.
Pattern Recognition Can Produce Confident Errors
- Generative models rely on pattern recognition and can confidently output incorrect facts or syntax.
- They statistically pick words that fit patterns even when those patterns produce false or misleading content.
