A user on Mastodon expressed concerns about the degradation of AI models over time due to fine-tuning on their own outputs, likening it to a "slow-motion photocopy of a photocopy." This process, they argue, narrows the model's distribution and makes it more agreeable, which can be mistaken for alignment. Additionally, the user highlighted the difficulty in tracking capability drift in closed-API models, leading to a situation where developers cannot reliably reproduce issues and may question whether the model or their own prompts have degraded.
