Chat GPT- Driven

Experts Claim ChatGPT Has Already Polluted the Internet So Severely That It's Eroding Al Advancement

 ⚠️ Experts Warn of Looming “AI Model Collapse” as ChatGPT-Driven Content Floods the Web.

✅AI researchers are sounding the alarm over an emerging crisis: the internet is becoming oversaturated with AI-generated content, and it’s beginning to threaten the future of AI development itself. 

✅As tools like ChatGPT proliferate, the web is being flooded with synthetic text, much of which is indistinguishable from human writing. 

✅Experts warn this trend is leading to a phenomenon known as “model collapse,” where AI systems trained on outputs of previous models degrade in performance, accuracy, and originality.

✅The core issue lies in the declining availability of “clean” human-generated data. 

✅Training AI models increasingly involves data already influenced—or outright produced—by earlier AI, creating a recursive loop that risks compounding errors and flattening creativity. 

✅Researchers note that obtaining reliable training material is becoming so difficult that future AI learning could become “prohibitively expensive, or even impossible.”

✅Maurice Chiodo of the University of Cambridge compares the situation to the search for “low-background steel”—uncontaminated metal sourced from pre-nuclear warships, now prized for sensitive scientific instruments. 

✅In a similar vein, pre-2022 internet data is viewed as a precious, untainted resource, while modern data is considered polluted by AI’s own hand.

✅The issue already affects technologies like retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), which rely on live internet data. 

✅Without enforceable standards to label or distinguish AI-generated content, researchers warn the field may sabotage itself—choking future models with the very content AI systems created.
