I do wonder whether, as a group of people being regularly exposed to text written by LLMs, we'll gradually end up writing and talking like that in our normal language. At that point perhaps text written by LLM and human will be indistinguishable. I already find myself using terms like 'footgun' in jest more than I ever did before!

The percentage of people that use LLMs so much that their language would change based on its responses is small enough that I’d doubt it would happen. Maybe for technical groups that use it more, but not for the general population.

We were doing this before LLM's. All sorts of trendy business speak would spread - the term "synergy" springs to mind as one people beat to death.

This is the concept of "memetics" (as in meme) in action. Hank Green recently talked about using AI and he went "off script" and threw "I appreciate the pushback" into his speech on the fly...

LLM's generating large volumes of content means that we're going to see all of its "isms" creep into other peoples speech much faster.

There's no doubt that people will. Even without LLMs people adopt writing styles from what they read.

Worth flagging, real gap, transparent win, center of gravity... I'm tired boss

Now I have full understanding

This is the key insight.

The entire thing is obviously LLM generated. Much better off just reading the release notes.

This post seems to be mostly llm generated
