Copy of a Copy: Is AI 'Gibberish' Taking Over?
In this episode, we explore the rising concern of "data collapse," a phenomenon where AI-generated synthetic content floods the internet, making it harder to distinguish between human-created data and artificial noise. We delve deep into how AI's, like GPT4, create data, the potential dangers of over-reliance on synthetic content, and the concept of "model collapse." Using a compelling case study, we illustrate how AI systems can degrade over time when trained on their own outputs, potentially filling the web with unreliable information. Tune in to learn how this could reshape the digital landscape and what it means for the future of AI.

How you can share data and resources to create your own AI: Bidhan Roy Interview
The big players (Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple...) have it all: data, GPUS, money, people - but what about the average, normal firms not with billions of dollars in their pockets? How can you create a good AI model, say, your own LLM, without these resources?
In this episode of the Beginner's Guide to AI I ask Bidhan Roy, CEO of Bagel, how his firm is creating a community of firms that exchange data and resources, save and secure and protected.
He is not the Robin Hood of AI, but his firm is creating a counterweight to the big players.
Tune in to get some insights on how that works!
