if other AI trains on the "news" this generates won't it converge on articles that are nothing but "buffalo buffalo" for millions of pages?

  I'm not sure why training on a diverse set of words would lead to converging on one word (but maybe there's a joke going over my head :P)

    The joke is referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffalo_buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffalo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffal...

    "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo." Is the longest grammatically correct sentence in English. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffalo_buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffalo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffal...

      It's the longest grammatically correct sentence composed entirely of one repeating word.

      That sentence isn't the longest valid English sentence, for example, this sentence is longer. In fact, as that Wikipedia article says, you can extend that sentence as well: > Thomas Tymoczko has pointed out that there is nothing special about eight "buffalos"; any sentence consisting solely of the word "buffalo" repeated any number of times is grammatically correct. Anyone who wants to go down that rabbit hole, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_linguistic_example_sentences https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_linguistic_example_sen...

          Not everyone is made for herding buffalo.
