One of two things will be true. Either:

AIs can successfully train on AI-generated content OR
AIs will need human-generated content to improve

If it’s 2, then we’ll have to develop AI that detects AI-generated content. But if you have the machine that can detect whether content is in the category that helps it improve, then you have an algorithm for generating content that helps it improve.

So either 1 is true, or AI will plateau, or it will be trained only on networks where confirmed humans are the only ones participating.
