So they mess things up.

And now we have new studies coming out showing that people, yes, in spontaneous spoken conversations, we're using the word surpass and boast more.

Simply because we see it more.

We absorb it.

That's how I think AI is sponsoring me affecting our language.

I'm more, I think, conscious of algorithms.

Ideas really travel.

You can visualize it like a virus infecting a population.

It starts with a host.

It goes to some early nodes in the network of social contagion.

And then it diffuses further.

Algorithms represent...

those social networks they do literally accelerate ideas so if we want to think about how chat gpt is influencing language you don't even have to be using ai to be affected by these words because they're showing up all around us i'm thinking about oh now we might be looking at more content on social media using the word delve or something 14 of all research papers are now written with ai we have like parliamentary speeches being written with ai you're going to see it more no matter how immune you think you are and then you're going to start saying it more

Yeah, with language, again, this is a way to reflect our reality.

And our reality is not purely this algorithmic AI reality.

You will have a different dialect always with your close friends, with your family.

You will speak, you will code switch between your regional dialect and then this homogenized AI dialect, whatever that we're all talking in.

But yeah, you'll always find different ways to communicate given the context.

It's not a categorical homogenization of language.

But in the domain of public speech, I think we are kind of traveling towards a norm.
