The article quotes a post from ISBNdb saying the issue is model collapse from training on synthetic data.
Yes, what's the issue?
That's like saying, "they had some failure modes from the synthetic data, so they should just obviously stop trying forever."
They'll just fix the edge cases and move on. Like any programming task.
Total collapse is a solution.
It's also unavoidable.
