Amusingly enough, someone from a frontier lab could probably answer this empirically. Years ago Microsoft demonstrated training LLMs on synthetic text-- books rewritten by LLMs to be more concise and more accurate. https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.11644 It is well known that Anthropic extensively uses synthetic text in training. You could probably get good 50tile, 90tile, 99 etc numbers just from the size of the training materials on Anthropic servers.
