I remember when compression was popularized, like mp3 and jpg, people would run experiments where they would convert lossy to lossy to lossy to lossy over and over and then share the final image, which was this overcooked nightmare

I wonder if a similar dynamic applies to the scenario presented in the comic with AI summarization and expansion of topics. Start with a few bullet points have it expand that to a paragraph or so, have it summarize it back down to bullet points, repeat 4-5 times, then see how far off you get from the original point.

i was curious so i tried it with chatgpt. here are the chat links:

overall it didn't seem too bad. it sort of started focusing on the ecological and astrobiological side of the same topic but didn't completely drift. to be honest, i think it would have done a lot worse if i made the prompt less specific. if it was just "summarize this text" and "expand on these points" i think chatgpt would get very distracted

Doesn't chatgpy remember the context of the previous question and text?

Maybe a difference in accounts and llms makes a bigget difference.
