I'm not sure why it's a concern to you. If it works well it's great news, and if it doesn't work, then it won't be used. Companies will not make their AIs less

  >>Companies will not make their AIs less intelligent on purpose. That sounds a LOT like saying "companies will not make their products worse on purpose". Yet it happens allt he time, and is almost inevitable once the MBAs, finance people, and marketers get involved - they seek out ways to cheapen the product that (they think) customers won't notice, they undermine "cost centers" like R&D and production, and 1000 other flaws. In internet products they deliberately skew the output to generate more ad revenue (See Enshttification" by Cory Doctorow [0]. And that is all for products that otherwise would stay mostly the same, without some kind of natural degradation. These LLMs and image generators, etc. will definitely degrade by ingesting their own output. Sort of like the jokes about clones becoming worse every generation. Just watch. Thx for provoking me to think for a few seconds and convincing me that it's inevitable...
