Last year, OpenAI researcher James Betker wrote a post on his personal blog about the nature of generative AI models and the datasets they are trained on, arguing that the training data, rather than the model design, architecture, or other characteristics, is the key to enabling increasingly sophisticated and performant AI systems. “If you train on the same dataset for long enough, nearly all models will converge to the same point,” Betker wrote.…
