One of the masterminds behind Doctor Who has warned that the more AI content is used for creative purposes the worse its output will be because it "eats its own tail".

Ahead of the Doctor Who Christmas special, eagerly awaited by fans as a centrepiece of BBC1's festive schedule, Steven Moffat made the comments in discussion with fellow showrunner Russell T Davies.

"Human beings are amazingly cheap, we're knocking out human beings every day. And unlike anything else in history, the more we use it, the less good it is," Moffat told the Radio Times. "Because the more content that is out there produced by AI, the more it absorbs its own content, and eats its own tail."
