Rather than the usual one-shot approach, the framework feeds a model's output back as its next input, repeating the cycle across text, image, and audio modalities. The key observation: memorized samples stay coherent through these iterative loops, while non-member data degrades faster. The method works across white-box, gray-box, and black-box settings, meaning it doesn't require full access to model internals.\n\nThis matters because the legal and privacy stakes around training data are climbing fast. Copyright holders and regulators increasingly want tools to verify whether specific works ended up inside a model — and current one-shot membership tests are too noisy to be reliable evidence. A method that produces stronger signals at low false-positive rates is exactly what auditors and litigants would need.\n\nThe approach borrows its name from Model Autophagy Disorder, a known failure mode where models trained on AI-generated data collapse in quality — a somewhat ironic inspiration for a tool designed to expose what a model quietly ingested.","[\"ai\",\"privacy\",\"machine-learning\",\"security\"]","2026-07-01T04:00:00.000Z","2026-07-01T07:47:58.607Z","2026-07-01T07:48:01.510Z","published",null,[],"ai",[24,26,27,28],"privacy","machine-learning","security",[30],{"name":31,"url":32},"arXiv cs.AI","https:\u002F\u002Farxiv.org\u002Fabs\u002F2606.31991",0,{"sections":35},[36,40,44,49,54,59,64,69,74,79,84,88,93,98],{"name":37,"slug":24,"count":38,"latest_published_at":39},"AI",2590,"2026-07-16T04:00:00.000Z",{"name":41,"slug":28,"count":42,"latest_published_at":43},"Security",294,"2026-07-15T19:59:48.000Z",{"name":45,"slug":46,"count":47,"latest_published_at":48},"Deals","deals",179,"2026-06-29T20:02:07.000Z",{"name":50,"slug":51,"count":52,"latest_published_at":53},"Policy","policy",158,"2026-07-16T00:02:48.000Z",{"name":55,"slug":56,"count":57,"latest_published_at":58},"Hardware","hardware",122,"2026-07-14T19:46:26.000Z",{"name":60,"slug":61,"count":62,"latest_published_at":63},"Consumer Tech","consumer-tech",93,"2026-07-13T13:20:48.000Z",{"name":65,"slug":66,"count":67,"latest_published_at":68},"Software","software",70,"2026-07-13T19:52:25.000Z",{"name":70,"slug":71,"count":72,"latest_published_at":73},"Science","science",66,"2026-07-10T10:29:37.000Z",{"name":75,"slug":76,"count":77,"latest_published_at":78},"Dev Tools","dev-tools",59,"2026-07-07T04:00:00.000Z",{"name":80,"slug":81,"count":82,"latest_published_at":83},"Gaming","gaming",41,"2026-07-09T04:00:00.000Z",{"name":85,"slug":86,"count":82,"latest_published_at":87},"Startups","startups","2026-06-29T20:55:50.000Z",{"name":89,"slug":90,"count":91,"latest_published_at":92},"General","general",29,"2026-07-10T22:28:58.000Z",{"name":94,"slug":95,"count":96,"latest_published_at":97},"Reviews","reviews",20,"2026-06-24T12:00:01.000Z",{"name":99,"slug":100,"count":101,"latest_published_at":102},"How-To","how-to",6,"2026-06-16T09:00:00.000Z"]
