this is fascinating, and a great explainer of how AI works, and how today AI has begun cannibalizing its own data because so many sites are protecting themselves with those "verify you are human" things to deter scraping.
the biggest LLMs all use the same dataset, and train on their own issue

This is wild: essentially every LLM—ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini—keeps using the same character when asked to make up a story, a guy called 'Elias Thorne'. He appears so much it's impacting Google Trends data and the self-published book market. Now we might know why www.404media.co/elias-thorne...
and so, just like incestual genes deteriorating into entropy, so too does AI
you see, AI must constantly steal more and more and more, forever into infinity, to stave off this kind of deterioration. This is why it isn't a luddite machine situation, it must actively consume our work to continue
a refresher:
AI works by searching a massive warehouse of data extremely fast. They get this data by stealing it en masse from art sites and twitter etc- "scraping". It's getting harder to do this so they trade existing sets of data back and forth, including their own generated shit, incestually

LLMs including ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude are obsessed with telling stories about lighthouse keepers and clockmakers, and one character named 'Elias Thorne' has made his way from chatbots to Amazon bo...
There’s a goofily small number of names that are kinda baked into the LLM training data that they’ve become tells on their own. It’s worth looking up.
But on the flip side, I might need to change one of my oldest original character’s name just because “Arris” crops up as LLM fantasy male name.
