OpenAI and Microsoft reportedly saw a 'doom loop' coming for the web

Original: OpenAI and Microsoft knew they were starting a 'doom loop' for the web

A report claims OpenAI and Microsoft understood that training AI models on web content could set off a 'doom loop' — AI-generated material flooding the web, degrading the data future models learn from, while starving publishers of traffic. The report cites internal knowledge of these risks, tied to ongoing copyright disputes including the New York Times lawsuit. Critics say the companies proceeded anyway, and the story is fuelling debate over AI's damage to the open internet.

Why now: It suggests OpenAI and Microsoft knowingly pursued practices that could harm the web and their own models, reviving copyright and AI-impact debates.
