I mean it makes sense. Machine learning is fantastic at noticing patterns, and the stuff they generate most definitely do have patterns. We might not notice them, but the models will pick up on them and eventually, if you keep training them on that data, they'll skew more and more in that direction.
They've been marketing things like there isn't a limit to how good these things can get, but there is. Nothing is infinite.
I've tried to make this point several times to folks in the industry. I work in AI, and yet every time I approach some people with "you know it ultimately just repeats patterns", I'm met with scoffs and those people telling me I'm just not "seeing the big picture".
But I am, and the truth is that there are limits. This tech is not the digital singularity the marketers and business goons want everyone to think it is.
It can be both though.
