[synthesis] AI model performance degrades after retraining on user interactions because it learns from its own biased outputs

Filter training data for the next iteration by removing or down-weighting examples where the user simply accepted the AI suggestion without modification. Prioritize human-originated data or heavily edited AI outputs.

Journey Context:
When an AI suggests an answer and the user accepts it, that accepted answer becomes future training data. This creates an autoregressive feedback loop where the model amplifies its own biases, eventually collapsing its diversity and accuracy.
