What if artificial intelligence were slowly drifting away from reality by feeding on… itself? That is the troubling paradox of data autophagy: when AI models reuse their own outputs, a vicious circle sets in.
🔄 The result?
📉 A gradual loss of diversity and nuance
📉 A “copy of a copy” effect that degrades quality
📉 Search engines increasingly filled with synthetic content
In a world where 90% of online content could be generated by AI by 2026, how do we avoid a massive impoverishment of information?
🔬 Solutions exist:
✔️ Diversifying sources to avoid algorithmic inbreeding
✔️ Developing self-correcting mechanisms to preserve creativity
✔️ Striking the right balance between artificial intelligence and human intervention
💡 Can we still keep control over how AI models evolve? And above all, how do we stop AI from going round in circles?
