But test-time inference leads to better data to train better models that can generate better test-time inference data.

There's an obvious trend going on here, of course we're still just growing these systems and going with whatever works.

It's worked well so far, even if it's more convoluted than elegant...

What puts my mind at ease is that the current state of these AI systems isn't going to go backwards because of the data they generate which contributes to the pool of possible knowledge for more advanced systems.
