I once heard of AI gradually getting dumber overtime, because as the internet gets more saturated with AI content, stuff written by AI becomes part of the training data. I wonder if that's what's happening here.
There hasn't been time for that yet. The radio of generated to human content isn't high enough yet.
It's not what's happening
I don't think the training data has really been updated since its release. This is just them tuning the model, either to save on energy or to filter out undesirable responses.
You might enjoy this short story.

As long as humans are still the driving force behind what content gets spread around (and thus, far more represented in the training data), even if the content is AI generated, it shouldn't matter. But it's quite definitely not the case here.
