There are two main types of data for training intelligences (natural or artificial): 1. Self play 2. Data left behind by other intelligences' self play. The Internet is 2, but is generated by the self play of humans - who were themselves trained on the self play of previous humans. That's how civilization is bootstrapped. Once you have bootstrapped sufficiently smart AI, they can possibly bootstrap themselves further on their own self play, instead of continuing to rely on human self play data.
