One wonders if AIs will also lose capability over time in this manner. For example, most all the training set is real data, either scraped or from surveilling users of the tool, or synthetic data simulated to be the same shape and dimensionality as real data.

Increasingly, the general population has been losing their own literacy skills even before AI, with many reading worse than a 6th grade level and some even functionally illiterate. Now we have the bludgeon that is AI saying don't bother reading anything, let the AI summarize it into the cliffnotes version. Don't write anything either, let the AI do it. Population becomes even more stupid over time. And the AI gets stupider with it.

Capabilities of AI may very well be frozen in time at our current technological/philosophical level when we consider the training set vs model improvement. In time, this may very well be our Great Filter. If there are even any of us unproductive humans still allowed to live on this earth, consuming resources that might otherwise go to the model.

As long as they keep it n steps ahead of genpop, they'll still have an edge I guess. Seems that this is all according to plan:
