Even just finetuning these models, they will pick up on the weirdest things a human wouldn't see, and artificial datasets will contain all kinds of invisible artifacts that further "inbreeding" is going to massively amplify. I am not speaking speculatively either. I have seen it happen finetuning ESRGAN on previous upscales that I even personally vetted as "good," and these generative models are way more sensitive than the old GANs.
