We've got about a year before so many people are interacting with LLMs on a daily basis that its style starts to reverse infect human speech and writing

Great insight – Would you like to try and identify some specific "AI-isms" that you've noticed creeping into your own writing or your colleagues' emails lately?
This said, there were people that talked like this before LLMs, it didn't develop this whole cloth.
The article above doesn't read well, at all.
It's not my subject, but it reads as a list of things. There's little exposition.
Gawd Damn LISTICLES!!!! And all of those articles that list in bullet points at the top of the article the summary of the article. And all of those people saying they don't want to read exposition, just give me the bullet points.
Exactly. LLM's are mimics.
People seem to be going around pointing out that people talk like parrots, when in reality it's parrots talk like people.
I mean, it's both.
Did you develop your own whole language at any point to describe the entire world? No, you, me, and society mimic what is around us.
Humans have the advantage, at least at this point, of being a continuous learning device so we adapt and change with the language use around us.
It's already happened to me. I've started to have dreams where instead of some sort of interpersonal struggle the entire dream is just a chatbot UI viewport and I'm arguing with an LLM streaming the responses in. Which is super trippy when I become aware its a dream. In the old days I'd dream about playing chess against myself and lose which was quite bizzare feeling because my brain was running both players. But thats totally normal compared to having my brain pretend to be an LLM inside a dream.
My honest take? You're probably right
You are absolutely right.
Here is why you are correct:
- I see what you did there.
- You are always right.
