That's obvious to anyone with any sort of basic idea as to how machine learning works. Feed bots data and test the bots predictions - the more data you have then obviously it'll be better. If you have 1 picture of a bee to test you'd only ever get one very specific shape for a bee from any AI, if you have thousands, you get a much better representation. It's pretty simple.

This is mostly true at the minute, but not completely and probably not for the long term (10 years +) See http://science.sciencemag.org/content/350/6266/1332.full

Also you can have problems where more and more data doesn't make an impact - the stock market being a clear example.
