Trained on massive amounts of human-generated content, AI-generated image synthesis is capable of reproducing semantically coherent images that match the visual appearance of its training data. We show that when retrained on even small amounts of their own creation, these generative-AI models produce highly distorted images. We also show that this distortion extends beyond the text prompts used in retraining, and that once affected, the models struggle to fully heal even after retraining on only real images.

  1. Optimal Self-Distillation for Rectified Flow via Linear Probing

    stat.ML 2026-07 accept novelty 4.0 of 10

    For linear rectified flow with ridge regression on fixed interpolants, optimally mixed self-distillation strictly improves velocity risk whenever the teacher is off the ridge stationary point, with a closed-form mixin...

  2. LLM Web Dynamics: Tracing Model Collapse in a Network of LLMs

    cs.LG 2025-05 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Under a shared retrieval-augmented memory, multiple LLMs' outputs converge to near-identical semantic answers, and the analogous Gaussian mixture system is proven to collapse.
