I have to wonder how much releasing these models will "poison the well" and fill the internet with AI generated images that make training an improved model difficult. After all if every 9/10 "oil painted" image online starts being from these generative models it'll become increasingly difficult to scrape the web and to learn from real world data in a variety of domains. Essentially once these things are widely available the internet will become harder to scrape for good data and models will start training on their own output. The internet will also probably get worse for humans since search results will be completely polluted with these "sort of realistic" images which can ultimately be spit out at breakneck speed by smashing words from a dictionary together...

On the contrary -- the opposite will happen. There's a decent body of research showing that just by training foundation models on their outputs, you amplify their capabilities.

Less common opinion: this is also how you end up with models that understand the concept of themselves, which has high economic value.

Even less common opinion: that's really dangerous.
