It's already happening.

“ChatGPT, a version of OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 model… gained more than 100m users in its first two months, and is now estimated to produce a volume of text every 14 days that is equivalent to all the printed works of humanity.”

— Dr Thompson, Feb/2023, cited in report by the National Bureau of Economic Research (Scholes, Bernanke, MIT)

If you're talking about Google Bard, they were very clear in the LaMDA 2 paper that they only used public sources.

"...from public dialog data and other public web documents..."

ChatGPT is probably outputting at least 110x the equivalent volume of Tweets by human Twitter users every day.... and the equivalent of the entire printed works of humanity every 14 days (Jan/2023)

The human feedback fine-tuning concept was applied following strict policies and rules. The rules chosen by OpenAI would be very similar to those applied by DeepMind for the Sparrow dialogue model (Sep/2022), which is a fine-tuned version of DeepMind’s Chinchilla model.

The rules used for DeepMind Sparrow were selected by researchers from DeepMind (Alphabet), California Institute of Technology, University of Toronto, and University College Dublin.

“[Cisco executive] Charles Giancarlo fielded a call directly from Steve Jobs. “Steve called in and said that he wanted it,” Giancarlo recalled. “He didn’t offer us anything for it. It was just like a promise he’d be our best friend. And we said, ‘No, we’re planning on using it.’ “Shortly after that, Apple’s legal department called to say they thought Cisco had “abandoned the brand,” meaning that in Apple’s legal opinion Cisco hadn’t adequately defended its intellectual property rights by promoting the name. To Apple’s way of thinking this meant the name iPhone was available for Apple’s use. Giancarlo, who subsequently joined the prominent Silicon Valley private-equity firm Silver Lake partners, said Cisco threatened litigation before the launch. Then, the day after Apple announced its iPhone, Cisco filed suit.

The negotiation displayed some classic Steve Jobs negotiating tactics. Giancarlo said Jobs called him at home at dinnertime on Valentine’s Day, as the two sides were haggling. Jobs talked for a while, Giancarlo related. “And then he said to me, ‘Can you get email at home?'” Giancarlo was taken aback. This was 2007, after all, when broadband Internet was ubiquitous in homes in the US, let alone that of a Silicon Valley executive who had worked for years on advanced Internet technology. “And he’s asking me if I’m able to get email at home. You know he’s just trying to press my buttons—in the nicest possible way.” Cisco gave up the fight shortly after that. The two sides reached a vague agreement to cooperate on areas of mutual interest.”

I also noticed the writing was particularly poor. And not just the technical detail... Everything from grammar to general syntax needs tweaking for ease-of-reading.
