    As a person who is intrigued in linguistics, I wonder how AI LLMs will affect real languages. I wonder if there is any research papers on this.

      Not quite the same, but I’m waiting for the day when people will pronounce street names like the GPS, instead of how they are actually pronounced. The street Schoenherr, in my neck of the woods is pronounced "Shane urr (yes, like the planet Omicron Percii 8, cause Detroit (Day twah) is weird), but the GPS says “Shown her”. I’m really curious to see how long it takes for the computer voice to be considered the correct one.

      I dunno. If people can’t be bothered to write stuff anymore, I doubt they will be bothered to read it either. Also, the model deviates towards the mean by its very design.

        If people can’t be bothered to write anymore, then I will be very picky about what I read. I will probably do more research and make sure it is someone I trust to have written it themselves not relied on trash machines.

          I’ve been picky about what I read ever since human written slop seemed to peak in the late 2010’s, articles written by humans to appeal to search engines are almost just as worthless as AI slop.

          This volume of garbage is certainly much more concerning, though.
