The ouroboros effect in AI is the danger of AI-generated content contaminating datasets for future AI models. It is indeed a growing concern in the field of artificial intelligence. One result is Model Collapse. Research has shown that when new generative models are trained on AI-generated content, they can gradually degenerate, leading to a phenom
