“AI Is Starting To Eat Itself
What’s happening: ChatGPT was found citing Grokipedia, an AI generated encyclopedia built inside the Musk ecosystem. The references appeared quietly on niche topics, not headline issues. This showed that AI written knowledge has begun slipping into other models’ retrieval layers without explicit coordination.
How this hits reality: Most foundation models have already exhausted high quality public data. Wikipedia adds marginal edits, not volume. Grokipedia style projects can add hundreds of thousands of pages cheaply. Retrieval systems do not distinguish origin well. AI outputs reenter datasets, citations look valid, but the source is recursive and ungrounded.
Key takeaway: Once human knowledge plateaus, AI eating AI is structural, not accidental. Without provenance controls or fresh real world inputs, models risk compounding bias and error while appearing more confident and complete.”
