A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Hello!

I have recently begun some research on the potential impact of widespread LLM use by the population on our writing, speech and ideas.

This will become a series synthesizing my research and findings. I have just published the introductory post which is a better explanation of my intent, plan, and reasons.

While anecdotal and unusable for research, I'm curious, did anyone hear notice some change in phrasing, words of choice, in someone using LLM heavily?

I do touch on that later on in a still WIP article. I initially wondered if LLMs have the potential to interfere with our words and meaning, and I'd argue they do. At what time scale, I do not know yet, I'm still trying to gather evidence for that. And I'm not arguing either in the subsequent articles that this will absolutely happen. Nobody knows how things will pan out exactly. The thesis is simply can AI interfere with language and meaning, and what could it look like?

You argue that people are still influenced by people and that is true, and I also write later on that part of the population rejects AI entirely and will thus resist the potential effects I discuss. But there is plenty of existing currents like anti-vaccines that show how a part of a population can have consequence on the entire population.

Then again, I decided to write those articles because I think it is worth exploring. Not because I want to spread AI doom stories or worry people but simply because that's where my curiosity leads me.
