- A new study reveals that humans more often use words commonly found in AI.
- The researchers found a measurable change to formal language models commonly used by LLM.
- The words that appear more often include meticulous, plunging and emphasizing.
There are a lot of concerns that people use to imitate human discourse and writing, but a new study by Florida State University revealed that there was a change in the other direction. It turns out that people use words common to AI chatbots more often in an occasional conversation. Terms like Garner, Delve, Complex and Underscore appear as the last Sitcom sphatphrase thanks to Chatgpt and its compatriots.
The study has shown that AI shapes how we talk, otherwise the subjects themselves. How we train sentences, choose words and try to be formal are all affected since the chatgpt release in 2022. The words of the AI chatbots could use too much, their signature style, become a basic food of human conversation, at least when we talk about science and technology.
The researchers have analyzed more than 22 million words of unicenized discourse of scientific and technological podcasts, those built around the impromptu discussion using informal natural language. Chatgpt’s favorite words are now widespread in discussions, much more than before its beginnings. To be fair, many of the words know a formal and technical value and are the basic vernacular in certain contexts. Nevertheless, no one said meticulous, strategically, exceeding or boasting of these podcasts almost as much as they have been in the past three years.
In particular, simpler synonyms do not arise as much. The researchers have found much more likely that someone would say to emphasize, not to accentuate or dive, but not to explore. People absorb specific stylistic tics from text generated by AI, it seems. It is a bit like when a child begins to use a term that he hears someone he admires to use a lot, only in this case, they are adults imitating a language model formed on billions of words. And this is not the only proof that this happens. A recent study revealed that the same thing happened among academics. T

This may seem a harmless side effect of the digital age, but there is a disturbing potential consequence due to the possibility of a feedback loop. Researchers suggest that AI could accelerate linguistic evolution, but they admit that this could really change the way we speak in a way that would never have happened without the influence of AI chatbots.
This is not the first time that language has moved under technological pressure. SMS has introduced abbreviations and emojis. Social media gave us hashtags, reaction gifs and many slang impenetrable to people who are not in adolescence. But, it could be a more important affair, and not in the right direction. The problem is that these sentences do not only add to the way we speak, they replace more evocative and evocative vocabulary and make everyone sound like the same bland digital assistant.
It is not an apocalypse language at the moment. To say something is cool instead of convincing does not confuse most people. But the future of how we think will be affected by the way we speak, and the way AI explains things could affect the way we supervise ideas and make decisions, in a way that we do not appreciate. Researchers will have to immerse themselves in more studies and see if the results collected underline the initial responses.
