Automated excerpt
Well, not all of the contractors are doing that. 404 Media has found multiple contractors hired to improve OpenAI’s models have been fired for using AI to train the AI. That’s not great for the models themselves, but there is also obviously a great irony in AI training companies working for OpenAI firing people for using AI when OpenAI’s whole thing is to make people use AI at work. Some AI models already exhibit signs of “model collapse,” which is where AI models further trained on AI-generated text can become worse and worse.
