Human Centipede Epistemology
This is how Maggie Appleton calls the phenomenon when Large Language Models with Artificial Intelligence generate texts using texts generated by other AIs etc etc:
In a repulsively evocative metaphor, they engage in “human centipede epistemology.” Language models regurgitate text from across the web, which some humans read and recycle into "original creations," which then become fodder to train other language models, and around and around we go recycling generic ideas and arguments and tropes and ways of thinking.
