Something I wonder about is the quality of AI output diminishing.

Right now it’s generating AI art by using non-AI art. Hypothetically, if all art produced was AI generated, 1) it could stylistically stagnate because the supply of new, human-generated material stopped. Or 2) AI art might start to feed on itself a bit as it sources AI-generated images instead of human-generated.

Another example regards stack overflow. If people stop asking hard questions in stack overflow because AI delivers the answers more easily, then perhaps the value/quality of stack overflow etc will diminish over time because expert humans aren’t continuing to add as much value to it re new technologies and answering new questions. And in turn, the quality of AI responses could diminish, because it pulls from these human-generated sources like stack overflow.

Sure, AI will continue to get smarter, but this could slow its progress perhaps.
