> Stick a microphone and camera outside on a robot and you can get unlimited data of perfect quality (because it by definition is the real world, not synthetic).

Be careful with mistaking data for information.

You are getting a digital (maybe lossy compressed) samples of photons and sound waves. It is not unlimited, a camera pointed at a building at night is going to have very little new information from second to second. A microphone outside is going to have very little new information second to second unless something audible is happening close by.

You can max out your storage capacity by adding twenty ML high megapixel cameras recording frames as tiff file but gain little new useful information for every camera you add.
