This is hardly surprising. It’s immediately noticeable in images, but we’ll have to be very careful with other forms of output as the decline could be subtle enough to go unnoticed at first. There’s a very real risk of poisoning our sources of data by allowing AI to write back to them without oversight. And given that the sources of data seem to be things like Reddit and twitter this is a real concern.

I work in marketing and only recently realised how closed the internet has become. I’ve always held that social media can come and go, people can use messenger and Twitter and Snapchat and insta all they like but email is a always a leveller that always works - then I found out about sending reputation. There’s a reason no one uses their own mail servers anymore, if you set up an email server on your own hardware then there’s a good chance that your emails won’t make it to the recipients behind spam filters. Basically, if you want to send emails now then you need to do it through an established service.
