@rosco @williampietri Give it a few years and humans will talk like the AI-generated slop they see on the Internet. Look how shorthand invented to save time typing on 1990s mobile phone number pads became used in everyday speech.

@natpryce Could be! Although I could see it going the other way, people leaning into slang and other human-driven linguistic evolution so that they are more likely to feel real. And perhaps we'll see a fair bit of both.

@williampietri @natpryce @rosco that's not too huge a worry, people are always surprisingly* good at communicating complex ideas through limited or inappropriate vocabulary

but the demand to conform to the informational and epistemic meta-structures of how AI and corpo web etc. handle what is true and what deserves attention is going to do enormous amounts of damage

*assume an intelligence roughly equal to one's own, which you thereby cannot comprehensively model, but trained on often significantly different foundational experiences. it's impossible not to be eventually surprised

For a while, telegraphers' and radio operators' shorthand expressions crossed over into general use.
