4. Synthetic Data is Toxic! Meta Team Confirms: 1% of Data Can Cripple Large Models
Recently, the AI community experienced an alarming event, akin to a food blogger suddenly consuming their own cooking, becoming increasingly addicted while the food quality deteriorates. This phenomenon, known as model collapse, occurs when AI models excessively use their own generated data, leading to a vicious cycle and ultimately degrading the model's quality.
AiBase Highlights:
🔍 Model collapse phenomenon: AI models relying too much on synthetic data during training lead to a decline in generation quality and eventual collapse.
💡 Solution: Prioritize the use of real data, use synthetic data cautiously, control model size to avoid collapse.
📈 Experimental findings: Even 1% of synthetic data can cause model collapse, larger models experience more severe collapse.
