- A new study shows that people sometimes sound a lot like chatgpt when they speak
- The evidence is in their vocabulary and their phrasing
- This change could flatten emotional nuances and make everyone sound the same
Have you recently heard a TED speech, or perhaps a friend who teaches in a college, you are talking about their plan to immerse yourself in a new field and encourage you to be more skillful to an activity? There is a chance that they were possessed by the spirit of Chatgpt. Or maybe just spent a lot of time interacting with AI chatbots.
Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Human Development believe that the latter becomes a real trend. They published a new report indicating that a quarter of linguistic work began as a result of the chatgpt release. Academics and other people adjacent to conferences are starting to look like AI, their discourse strewn with some of the same words that occur much more often in the text produced in AI than average, as meticulous, follower, Delve and Kingdom.
Researchers have analyzed 280,000 YouTube academic videos on more than 20,000 channels. The change was easy to spot, some of the words appearing more than 50% more often than expected. And these are not scripts written by AI, it is only educated people who inadvertently draw from the Dictionary of the AI. If they use EM dashes are more difficult to say, but they may well be hidden from the words.
I must also say that someone who uses these words does not mean that he is influenced by the writing of AI. I can indicate the writing of my decades by going back decades which use all the examples of the vocabulary of AI precisely because they feel evocative and interesting.

It may seem a minor problem, but it could predict a potentially deeper problem. The researchers found that the words influenced by AI were not more frequent, they replaced a more lively and less structured language. What could have been a passionate and complex argument would become dull and antiseptic. Placing the texture of our language and always lacking with the sentences used by AI could, at worst, reduce color, emotion and regional quirks that have animated the way we speak. Linguistic diversity does not thrive on semi-automatic seizure.
This could even mean a drop in our ways. There is a debate to find out if it is worth being polished with AI chatbots. Should you say “please” to chat or thank you to Gemini? Conversation is a conversation. If we are sudden enough with AI, it will bleed in the way we speak to other humans, and the world could feel a little less friendly.
At the same time, it is difficult to resist completely. If you are an academic who tries to write an article or a content manager trying to comply with a delay, the Chatppt can be a useful co-author. He writes properly and is often direct and even incisive in his analysis. But the compromise is an often monotonous voice in a long -sake, whatever it is invited. And if you count too often, this voice becomes yours.
It should be noted that we have already seen this model. Technology has always shaped language. The Telegraph encouraged brevity, and the phones made the standard greeting “Hello”. The texts gave us lol and Rofl. Twitter made us say “hashtag” aloud, while emojis have people who say “upside down Smiley Face” in real conversation. We move something not because it is natural, but because that is what we are now trained.
It is difficult to miss the irony of creating an AI chatbot to imitate humans, only so that humans begin to imitate AI. As strange to contemplate, you may have to pay attention to how you talk about and the words you use for fear that you fall into the vocabulary that your PAL uses. Give yourself in meticulous research on what makes your language unique and becomes a follower in the field of rare idioms.
