LLM may be standardizing human expression – and subtly influencing how we think

You're talking about system altering the environment. GP was talking about the system altering itself. The system is a massive self-stabilizing collection of feedback loops. Unlike the static environment[0], it's incredibly hard to intentionally move such system to a different equilibrium. If it weren't, we'd already solved all the thorny world problems long ago.

[0] - Any self-stabilizing system that operates much slower than us - such as ecosystems or climate - is, from our perspective, static.

Source? lol

Actual, measurable literacy is in the toilet. The average person reads at the 6th grade level. What sort of equilibrium are you trying to claim we are in right now?

It's not intentional. That's the point!
