Redefines synthetic data generation? From "making fake data" to what? (I get it, it's hyperbole.)

Training on synthetic data is the most garbage-sounding thing I've ever heard. Isn't Reddit and Wattpad fake enough? At least those posts were generated by actual humans.

I guess I'll wait and see, but I'm really skeptical that this will be a good thing.

Its a promising idea. Limitless training data in any domain you want. Whether or not it actually pans out is a whole different story.
