Model collapse

In artificial intelligence, model collapse, also known as "AI inbreeding", "AI cannibalism", "Habsburg AI", and "model autophagy disorder" or "MAD", is the degradation of machine learning models from uncurated synthetic data, or from training on the outputs of another model, such as a prior versions of itself. It has colloquially been referred to as the…
