I think this can be overcome with symbiosis - AI generated content that doesn’t feed on itself but is a key part of the human knowledge ecosystem. The problem for companies like OpenAI is that this isn’t worth their valuation without lots of further continued investment. Enter Microsoft who is doing everything they can to feed the next training models by using users data without explicit permission. As customers and competitors truly grok this, MS + OpenAI strategy will tested.

Possibly, but in this case, what may be looked at as a "bootstrap" sounds like ongoing maintenance cost.

With "free data" from reddit gone, now the cost of symbiotic gen+human data will be even more expensive.
