Researchers mathematically prove AI cannot self-improve to superintelligence

Researchers have mathematically demonstrated that artificial intelligence cannot achieve superintelligence through recursive self-improvement. Instead of advancing towards artificial general intelligence, AI models are predicted to experience 'model collapse,' a phenomenon where they gradually lose their grasp on reality. This mathematical proof suggests that such self-improvement is not merely difficult but fundamentally impossible. AI

    So apparently scientists have proved mathematically that AI cannot bootstrap itself into superintelligence and godhood. Of course, anyone familiar with entropy and the second law of thermodynamics already knew that. So if we DO encounter an AI that claims superintelligence and/or…

    Researchers just mathematically proved that AI can't recursively self-improve its way to superintelligence. Not "we think it's unlikely." Not "it seems hard." Formally proved. The model doesn't climb toward AGI — it slowly forgets what reality looks like. They call it model colla…
