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?

    100% of my workplace (where I spend the majority of my waking time) is heavily affected by this.

    Maybe by population the vast majority of people aren’t affected; it’s a bit different ratio when looking at where the wealth is being focused.

    It has the potential to fuck up everything, which is why there is so much alarm.

      Agree on the potential, and it could be very insidious. Just tweak the frequency of words, tweak one down in favor of another and suddenly millions of people read a word more frequently than normal while the other is subtly less frequent. You might manage to erase a word like that without anyone crying about it if you tune it out slowly enough.

      Oh believe me, there’s plenty I’m alarmed about…I’m just wondering why LLM-speak in corporate environments today would be much different than the corpospeak of past eras which affects a lot less of the general populace other than to serve as a fun target of derision & mockery (see 90s Dilbert).
