AI runs out of data

If the large language models that power chatbots run out of stuff to read, what then?

My feature for Nature https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-03990-2

An imaginative illustration depicting an oil rig drilling into the ground, but instead of geological layers, there are layers made of books and documents. The rig's drill pierces through these literary layers, and instead of oil, words and numbers flow up through the drilling pipe. The scene captures the concept of extracting knowledge or information, with the flowing words and numbers depicted as a vibrant stream, swirling with various fonts and sizes, symbolizing a rich flow of data and literature. The background is a serene landscape, emphasizing the focus on this unique drilling operation.
