Already starting to happen a bit.
The AI only fools us into thinking it's intelligent because it picks the most likely text response based on what it's read before. But often, the output is confidently wrong as it's really just a parlor trick.
Now, since it's starting to ingest more if it's own output, the definition of 'what is the most likely response' has been poisoned a little from ingesting that formerly wrong response.
Add in all the blog spam, the fake but funny reddit answers etc, and the system - which doesn't actually think - starts to get more and more deranged.
The way that people use and trust these chat bots reminds me of stories about executives in the '80s climbing the corporate ladder using a Magic 8 Ball
I feel like Elon still uses a magic 8 ball to make decisions.
that's basically what many humans do
i think AI still has really cool applications, it's just that the vibe is getting destroyed by shitty companies putting it in everything, ~~harvesting~~ stealing data for it, the awful spam, and the built in restraints which make it act like you're a child
