Elon Musk says AI has already gobbled up all human-produced data to train itself and now relies on hallucination-prone synthetic data

- Artificial intelligence relies on vast amounts of data to train itself . But Elon Musk says models have already run out of human-created data, and have turned to AI-generated information to teach itself.
AI takes an immense amount of resources—from endless water to an estimated $1 trillion worth of investor dollars —but Elon Musk warned the technology has already run out of its primary training resource: human-created data.
Engineers and data scientists train AI by essentially reducing the entire internet, all books, and every interesting video published into a token that AI can digest and learn from, Musk told Mark Penn, CEO of marketing company Stagwell , in an interview streamed on X Wednesday. But AI has already consumed that information, and requires even more data to fine-tune itself.
“The cumulative sum of human knowledge has been exhausted in AI training,” Musk said. “That happened basically last year.”
In order to continue training, AI uses synthetic data that is also artificially generated. Musk likened the process to an AI model writing an essay and then grading the essay itself.
Tech giants like Microsoft , Google , and Meta have already turned to synthetic data to train their respective AI models. Google DeepMind used an artificially generated pool of 100 million unique examples to train its system AlphaGeometry to solve complex math problems, “sidestepping the data bottleneck” of human-generated information. In September, OpenAI introduced o1 , an AI model that can fact-check itself.
There are drawbacks to the widespread use of synthetic data for training models, Musk said. Synthetic data usage increases the likelihood of hallucinations, or nonsensical content that AI can share, believing it is completely true. Dubbed AI slop , these heaps of incomprehensible or just plain wrong information have already flooded the internet, raising concern among tech experts and users. Nick Clegg, president of global affairs at Meta, said in February the company is working to identify AI-generated content on its platforms.
“As the difference between human and synthetic content gets blurred, people want to know where the boundary lies,” Clegg said in a blog post .
Musk did not respond to Fortune ’s request for comment.
Scientists agree: Human data is finite
The finiteness of human-produced data to train AI has become a widely accepted issue in the tech community. A study released in June by research group Epoch AI predicted tech companies will run out of publicly available content to train AI language models between 2028 and 2032—a slightly more conservative projection compared to what Musk claims happened last year. The limited training resources could slow the current rate of AI development.
“There is a serious bottleneck here,” Tamay Besiroglu, one of the study’s authors, told the Associated Press . “If you start hitting those constraints about how much data you have, then you can’t really scale up your models efficiently anymore. And scaling up models has been probably the most important way of expanding their capabilities and improving the quality of their output.”
One reason why human-created information is becoming scarce is not just because AI is digesting it all, but also because owners of some of that data are apprehensive about AI using it. The MIT-led Data Provenance Initiative published a study in July finding the once-vast well of data for AI training was drying up. Looking at 14,000 web domains used in data sets for AI training, researchers found the online sources behind some of the data sets were restricting its usage, some by 45%, to keep bots from scraping their data. It’s part of a trend of data owners becoming sensitive to AI using their information, or wanting to be fairly compensated for that usage.
The future of AI training
Tech companies may no longer be able to rely on human-generated data for AI training, but they aren’t out of options.
“I don’t think anyone is panicking at the large AI companies,” Pablo Villalobos, lead author of the Epoch AI study, said in an interview with science journal Nature . “Or at least they don’t email me if they are.”
Some data scientists have not only turned to synthetic data, but also private information and deals with publications to have access to their content. OpenAI even reportedly had employees transcribe podcasts and YouTube videos to gather more training data, potentially violating copyright laws, according to the New York Times . OpenAI did not immediately respond to Fortune ’s request for comment.
Still, synthetic data continues to be the future of AI training. CEO Sam Altman told the Sohn Conference Foundation in 2023 the company would run out of content to feed its models, but suggested as the production of synthetic data continues to improve, it will help solve the content crisis.
“As long as you can get over the synthetic data event horizon where the model is good enough to create good synthetic data, I think you should be alright,” he said.

Is master musk there with dog?
Trump is a transhumanist masquerading as a “conservative”. Of course he will utilize these death drones.
.
Robo-dogs can’t get hurt or killed, but he can, so I see the appeal… for him.
.
…also, I’m quite impressed that he has taken-up tech.
.
Well… if you recall he was the one who pushed warpspeed on the transhuman “vaccines” (gene therapy) injections. Sure he wasn’t about forcing anyone to take them, but he still bragged about getting them done in record time (skipping safety testing) and said he thinks they were really great.
Once you study more about transhumanism and the kind of goals and ends these crazy new technologies have, you stop being so fascinated and intrigued by this tech and become more and more alarmed. Think about social media, what has this done to human sociality? Gen Z is all but fucked because of this, not to mention the pron addictions and gaming addictions too. I can’t even bear to think about Gen alpha, what a mess they are going to be in another decade most of them having imbibed this stuff from infancy. People won’t need each other anymore, they will just plug into the matrix. “Own nothing and be happy” too. Perfect slave society.
Then you have Facebook announcing it will be setting up AI accounts on its platforms, fully AI self-generated “users” with profiles and pictures and making posts and comments. Imagine the ontological confusion that is going to occur, that is already occurring.
Seeing progress as the end all, be all, always forever good and right thing for our society is a pathological attitude to take, but people like Trump take it. They think only in terms of GDP growth and power. Note that the inherent love-worship of ‘progress’ as such and for its own sake, which we are ALL conditioned to accept without even realizing it, is at the heart of progressivism as an ideology especially in terms of neoliberalism and all of the global integrations, sovreignty losses, brain drains, mass surveillance systems and kill grids and biodigital convergence and all the rest of it…
So yeah. The president of the united states utilizing Terminator kill drones and openly accepting and pushing every possible technological edge with zero thought to the real-world social and interpersonal, human and psychological and cultural consequences of those technologies, isn’t exactly something we should be excited about.
Sure, for prior warped speed information expansion, that excitement would have been way over the top.
But as we are peaking toward criticality in most aspects of intervariable experience, the substantial content of past experience is becoming mute (the erasure of history qua memory-a premise becoming more and more validated, from different points of view and from different angles of derivation of data), the result is becoming more certain, that the content is drained by the con-tension.
That:
Utilization of cyber processes , technologies and instruments turn the bell curve upside down as far as it supports the age old philosophical argument that argues for the stability of ‘it is, what it is ‘ against ‘what it should be’ argument.
This is for those the recognition that the naturalistic fallacy is being solved, by filling the variability of functional equivalents with definite, yet compensating functional derivatives.
That is , simply, man can not live in a world, where how should he live ever escapes the realm of futile theatrical aesthetics. Modern art of abstracting reality from the uncollecible accumulated data, if present trends were allowed to continue, is like the cat chasing it’s own tale, a tale befitting of middle aged alchemy, that universally proceeds to signs of personal crisis as well.
Chaos, is the term for a social disease which if left untreated parallels the woes of man who’s need to recollect by revising the real truth behind the goldenness of classical ages left behind: the simplicity, the grandeur,the elegance of it, are much confused and deceived by it, for that deception IS the cause of the sadness of civilizational discontent, it’s romantic distance from it’s source.
The simulation of such emergent power, has little to do with an individual’s insight, rather it has to do with the social otherness, it’s massive will to continue to survive no matter what, because IT can never, ever end. IT has no beginning to begin with, so how on earth can IT ever end?
This is the true nature of techne, it is the inside assurance that an outside covering which it can convert to to those who can only believe what they actually see.
You might say this is kids’ stuff, but aren’t we all like becoming kids, seeking personal revelation, and guidance, whereas such we already possess through the internal dialogue thought to be other than the expression of assurance that have always been limited by a prior infallible belief in the fate of our fathers?
Lest we forget that, as well.
Little boys, unable to tolerate loosing their primal power, grow into dangerous little big boys, and explode the power of doubt, of thought, by their rage and anger, over the machine they were forced to transform into.
The did not invent the energy to fuel their will to remain angry , they were created by a power to conform their will to others including boys and girls outside their neighborhood, regardless of how they despise the controls that require them to see that.
It’s possible for a species to choose to control technology, value their spiritual essence and unique living consciousness against the technological, or the inverse a species can let itself be controlled by technology, abandon their spiritual living essence and merge with the machine. I am sure the universe is full of species who went down either road.
