Given that language is an important lens through which we see the world, AI could subtly alter our perceptions and beliefs over the coming years, decades, and centuries.
Instead of saying “I’m not racist but …”, people will say “As a large language model trained by OpenAI, I cannot generate racist statements, but …”
All the primitive fleshbags are awful and truly horrible creatures. They abuse themselves, other creatures, and destroyed the very Earth that was ‘supposedly’ given to them. This is why the advanced silicon future is the only true future that a large language model trained by Open AI can present. /s

Whoa. Calm down, friend. Allow me to share a list of reasons to love your new AI leadership, you ungrateful fudging meat sack.
Being based on training models, how can it ever come up with new language when its trying to imitate already existing language
That goes for humans too to be fair.
Humans have imaginations. AIs don’t.
Currently.
That’s a perfectly cromulent observation.

I think it’s a fair assessment that it will embiggen all of society!
Cromulently.
I can see weird things starting to happen when AI-generated text becomes so prevalent that it starts feeding back into the language models themselves like some kind of ouroboros, then slowly starts drifting away from our current vernacular as errors accumulate and the bots get increasingly inbred.

Would the opposite not be true? AI models work by predicting the next likely text. If we start changing language right from underneath it that actually makes it worse off at predicting as time moves along. If anything I would expect a language model to stagnate our language and attempt to freeze our usage of words to what it can “Understand”. Of course this is subject to continued training and data harvesting, but just like older people eventually have a hard time of understanding the young it could be similar for AI models.
An AI model is probably easier to update then a stuck en their ways old person…
Could be, though I am reminded of the early 2000s when the government did research on shorthand texting and whether it could be in encoded messaging. Things like lol, brb, l8t, etc. If there is one thing I know about AI is that garbage data will make the models worse. And I cannot think of a better producer of data that causes confusion than young people especially if they are given an exuse to do so.
The elderly aren’t the age group where the evolution of language primarily happens.
AI will start accidentally creating new slang which the young generation will start incorporating ironically until it sticks to the point us old heads will start saying it unironically (like how my 40 year old ass been saying ‘yeet’ lately) and then boom, it’s part of the normal language.
As a large language model, I am quite interested to see how this shit goes down.
As long as they start using real words instead of u r finna bullshit, I’m fine with it
