- A new study shows that people sometimes look a lot like chatgpt when they speak
- The evidence is in his vocabulary and phrasing
- This change could flatten emotional nuances and make everyone feel the same
Have you recently heard a TED talk, or perhaps a friend who teaches in a university, tell you about his plan to deepen a new kingdom and encourage you to be more expert in some activity? There is the possibility that they have been possessed by the spirit of Chatgpt. Or maybe I just spent a lot of time interacting with chatbots from AI.
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for human development think that the latter is becoming a real trend. They have published a new report that indicates that a linguistic change has begun following the launch of Chatgpt. Academics and other people adjacent to the conference begin to sound like AI, their speech splashed from some of the same words that occur much more frequently in the text produced by AI than the average, such as meticulous, adept, delve and kingdom.
The researchers analyzed 280,000 academic videos of YouTube in more than 20,000 channels. The change was easy to detect, with some of the words that appeared more than 50 percent more than expected. And these are not scripts written by AI, they are only educated people who inadvertently take out of the Dictionary of AI. It is more difficult to say if they are using empties, but they may be hidden among words.
I must also say that someone who uses those words does not mean that they are being influenced by the writing of AI. I can point out that mine writing dates back to decades that use all examples of vocabulary of AI precisely because they feel evocative and interesting.

It may seem a minor problem, but it could presage a potentially deeper problem. The researchers found that the words influenced by AI were not only more frequent, which replaced a more vivid and less structured language. What could once have been a passionate and complex argument would become boring and antiseptic. Sanding the texture of our language and always in the breach of the phrases used by AI could, in the worst case, reduce color, emotion and regional peculiarities that encourage the way we speak. Linguistic diversity does not prosper in self -preparation.
It could even mean a decrease in our manners. There is a debate on whether it is worth being courteous with the chatbots of AI. Should he say “please” Chatgpt or thank Gemini? The conversation is conversation. If we are abrupt with Ai enough, it will bleed in how we talk 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 a document or content manager who tries to meet a deadline, Chatgpt can be a useful co -author. He writes cleanly is often direct and even incisive in his analysis. But compensation is a voice that is often monotonous in a long way, regardless of the notice. And if you trust too often, that voice becomes yours.
It is worth noting that we have seen this pattern before. Technology has always shaped language. The Telegraph encouraged brevity, and the phones made “hello” the standard greeting. The text messages gave us Lol and Rofl. Twitter made us say “hashtag” out loud, while emojis have people who say “smiling face upside down” in the real conversation. We are emulating something not because it is natural, but because we are now trained to wait.
It is difficult to lose the irony of creating an AI chatbot to imitate humans, only for humans to begin to imitate AI. I miss that it is to contemplate, it is possible that you should pay attention to how it speaks and the words you use so that they do not fall into the vocabulary used by your AI Pal. Deepen the meticulous research on what makes your language unique and become an expert in the field of uncommon idioms.
