> AI-generated code
AI "generated" code requires a large base of training data to draw from. If we all stop writing code then there will no new code written. Just rehashes of stolen ideas. There is no long tail to this industry or ideal.

As long as you convince someone else to pay the bill who cares? The real problem is are you losing your competitive edge? If everyone else can crank out the same stolen crap you can then there is no reason for you to even exist.
That's something i wonder as well. AI needs data to be usable. But what if all the data it gets is just generated by AI?
It has to annotate it too.
We've let models do this before. They devolve into an incomprehensible mess in very short order. Errors multiply. Lossy weight compression on erroneous material makes it all that much more worse.
