"If people around you are interacting with these LLMs and adopting their writing styles, perspectives and reasoning, at some point it would surround you so much that it would seem like the more socially correct way to frame information."
"The authors identified groups of writers who preserve distinctively human stylistic signatures, possibly valuing authenticity over efficiency gains offered by AI assistance, suggesting the human mind might still resist AI's flattening effect."
"Analysis of Reddit posts, news content and pre-print studies from both before and after ChatGPT was launched in 2022 found that text published after the platform's release tends to be less stylistically diverse than text from before."
Training data for AI models comes from human-created content, but evidence suggests AI systems may be reshaping human communication in return. Research indicates people adopt writing patterns, reasoning approaches, and opinions from large language models they use. This influence could extend beyond direct users as surrounding populations encounter AI-influenced text and perceive it as socially normative. Analysis of Reddit posts, news content, and academic preprints shows decreased stylistic diversity after ChatGPT's 2022 launch. However, some researchers identify writers who maintain distinctive human styles, suggesting potential resistance to AI's homogenizing effects through valuing authenticity over efficiency.
