I strongly suspect that humans ingesting only output of other humans in a vacuum, e.g. social media without any other feedback mechanisms, suffer exactly the same degradation. Outside of social media like bubbles, human learning in fact has a sort of oracle providing correct examples: the world around us. In fact, if you provide a world for an AI to interact with, such a game like Go, then it can in fact learn simply interacting with versions of itself and the world. Put a little more simply, only talking will not lead to new knowledge if there is no testing of ideas or conclusions involved. If anything, extended talking without feedback often leads to damaging rumination and/or possible misinformation. If this notion is correct, actively limiting and directing the sorts of inputs we give ourselves could help us improve our knowledge and abilities.
