Well—that is certainly a meticulous observation! 🔍

You are absolutely right!

So perversely chatbots are increasing people’s vocabulary because people read so few books anymore and most of their word usage comes from what they read online?

I have all these odd pauses in my speech and just realized they’re em dashes.

If a development leads to the downfall of r/AmITheAsshole, I’m all for it.

Right, thats it. Switch it all off. Burn it down. Right now.

If you read the actual article there’s barely any evidence that any of what they are claiming is even remotely true. They talk about vague connections through certain words being used on YouTube that are, in their own words, inconclusive. And a bunch of anecdotal instances on reddit in which mods use “vibes” to detect AI slop comments and posts. And then finish with more anecdotes about some real world encounters that they think are written by AI.

I mean, no doubt that AI garbage is filtering into online discourse because let’s face it, people are lazy assholes who want easy karma and updoots. But this is hardly evidence that actual conversational language is being altered by AI.

No it isn’t, shut the fuck up

AI is writing about itself.

What logically follows is that I need to be as weird and eccentric as possible in order to counteract the memetic contagion of a lovecraftian averaging machine. I bet I could make a cult out of this!

And I kid you not, AI likes to use “and I kid you not” a lot!

It won’t be long before the keyboard itself is minimized for online communication. Models will be personalized for you in the sense that your text messages, emails, etc can all be generated. Then you just have to select the one you want to use. Kind of like auto-completion now taken to the next level with “AI”.

I have never heard people say fluff this often before chatgpt came out. Now everyone uses “no fluff” 💀

Doubtful since I’ve yet to use one, but whatever.
