Nature paper warns recursive training on AI-generated data causes irreversible model collapse

A Nature paper on 'Model Collapse' shows that when models are recursively trained on AI-generated data, they suffer irreversible degradation, forgetting the rare 'tails' of the original distribution as latent distributions collapse toward the mean. With the web filling up with AI-generated text, images, and code, this poses a growing threat to next-generation training runs.
