My paraphrase of the below article: "LLM-generated content tweaked by humans is a good data source for LLMs. By 'good' we mean 'not as good as human-generated data but it's cheaper and probably good enough'. We're running a damn business here, what do you expect us to do, feed them the best possible data? Lol. Lmao."

If you're an "ML is consciousness" type person, this is treating your AIs like factory farmed livestock, feeding them their own waste product to save money
