Even trace amounts of bias in the original training data get refined and magnified when they are output though a decision support system that directs humans to go an act on that output. Algorithms are to bias what centrifuges are to radioactive ore: a way to turn minute amounts of bias into pluripotent, indestructible toxic waste.

There's a great name for an AI that's trained on an AI's output, courtesy of #JathanSadowski: #HabsburgAI.

Not sure how I managed to miss it until today, but the term #HabsburgAI is absolutely brilliant:

"Habsburg AI – a system that is so heavily trained on the outputs of other generative AI's that it becomes an inbred mutant, likely with exaggerated, grotesque features."

And I'm not just saying this, because I live in what used to be the capital of the Habsburg empire. 😜

The internet is increasingly full of garbage, much of it written by other confident habitual liar chatbots, which are extruding plausible sentences at vast scale. Future confident habitual liar chatbots will be trained on the output of these confident liar chatbots, producing #JathanSadowski's #HabsburgAI:

But the declining quality of Google Search isn't merely a function of chatbot overload. For many years, Google's local business listings have been *terrible*.
