I can imagine AI replacing search engines in a somewhat far future, but in the meantime, it'll mostly be used to flood the internet with many low quality articles. Consequence will be as you said, but I also wonder if it won't lower the quality of new AI trainings as well.

How long before the AI learning from itself dominates the literature people read influencing how we speak and think?

Who knows!

There's "precedents", tho. MidJourney, the art AI, trained Stable Diffusion over favorites generations of their community, making it a "fine tuned Mid-Stable Diffusion" that was quite amazing (that was the --beta and --betap flags a couple of months ago there).

It can be bad, but it can also be great.
