You're Not Imagining It. People Actually Are Starting To Talk Like ChatGPT.

I haven't noticed this yet fortunately. Anyone?
Not really. There's a lot of Eastern Europe where the kids speak English they learned from YouTube, so they all have American accents and call people "bro." Speach patterns like ChatGPT would be too cheery to be taken seriously by anyone.
Like, in this world right now, are there people that respond to a question with a chirpy, "Certainly! Let's dive in to that!"
Doubt.

Certainly! Let's dive into that:
As the ChatGPT platform has grown in userbase over the years, it can be assumed that younger foreign users would pick up on the language patterns — specially if they are communicating with the platform on a daily basis.
Much like the already-existing effect of children picking up on Youtuber's mannerisms and verbal styles over time, this brings up Nature vs Nurture1 methods of learning.
Would you like to explore more about how this comment was generated by a human with no LLM help, or tricks to make your own written text sound like you're fake?
I have a friend who has worked in HR that will sometimes slip into that tone, but that's unrelated to ChatGPT
But, simultaneously, it is also very, very common for tiktokers and aislop youtubers to just churn out videos with AI voice narration.
Sometimes that's paired with an actually human written script, often, nope, ChatGPT or something similar.
There are a fairly small number of voices that are widely used... and I remember being a kid and just making MSFT Sam say shit and laughing at it, and then emulating it, though as an intentional joke robot voice.
I think its quite plausible that all the overworked, broke parents that just give their toddler a phone or a tablet... yeah, they're gonna be watching these short form videos and functionally learning pronounciation that way.
That first bit always feels so false and icky. Like, no I didn't open up chatGPT to have my butt licked every other sentence. I just need the syntax for X or Y, and no I'm not delving into interesting depths of typescript. I'm monkeypatching the code to make a certain thing work and probably leaving a trail of wanton destruction behind every step I go.
Just the occasional garbage comment or message where someone has clearly just copied and pasted a direct LLM output.
I do feel like lately I have people more bluntly asking me for stuff though and getting frustrated respectfully respecifying what they want but that also started before covid. People just want answers they think should be readily available for a while now.
It's a Vice article so it's all bullshit anyhow.
There's so very much in that paper that doesn't seem to suggest what they are saying it does. It suggests people are directly using those tools to create scripts for academic videos instead of their fundamental speech changing. They state that they manually reviewed for "reading vs spontaneous" and found about 30 percent were directly reading a script, but extrapolating the non "reading" samples to not have used AI copy edited outlines in this context is a leap. It would make more sense that they did. These lecture videos were not examples of natural language use in any sense.
Our study is focused on academic communication, yet we anticipate that similar patterns may extend to other communicative contexts.
Seems particularly unfounded (though it really has enough hedges to make it a non statement "similar" "may" with no reference to what context they're thinking of). It's also a preprint that gets most of its models from preprints.
Then the vice article takes every weakness of the paper and actually amplifies them to a really profound degree. We've got researchers trying to push an AI is transformative narrative and a journalist trying to push an AI makes you stupid narrative right off a cliff into "popsci journalists reporting on preprints make stupid claims" pit.
No thanks. I model my speech after movie/TV show characters like a normal person.
Like Yosemite Sam and Foghorn Leghorn, hopefully
Why re invent the wheel when there ready made templates for any identy one would think of!
I'm pretty old, so I still speak Dan Rather / Tom Brokaw English (American?). Might have a touch of Walter Cronkite even, although I was pretty young when he retired. I have no skibidi toilet, but I like to misuse it in the hopes of killing it off with my uncoolness. I am definitely excited about the world going to Ohio in a handbasket.
A year after Elon bought Twitter there was a study done that found out roughly half of all Twitter users are fake.
Most reddit users are fake now.
The spam from AI bots are draining more electricity than cities, it is quickly becoming the majority of global power usage.
These datacenters need to be burned down.
With the owners inside, preferably.
Literally don't talk to enough people to notice. 🤷🏿♀️
AI shills are coming for you... Dont you want a friend who lives in data center?!
I probably would be among the last to notice, as I have never used this.
I understand, and there is no need to feel out of place. It is perfectly fine to engage at your own pace. Should you choose to explore this further, I am here to provide any assistance you may need with utmost support and encouragement.
Comment of the day 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"You can totally trust things that sound like they're AI generated, that's just how people talk now! Trust us!"
Was this funded by ChatGPT?
The words they studied were, delve, realm, meticulous and adept.
Which sucks, because those were words I used before ChatGPT came along.
Joke's on them, I already talked like that 😆
It's just a case of art imitating life imitating art imitating life imitating art imitating life. What's so hard to understand about that?
Chat GPT is not art.
Its a case of matrix algebra simulating language through probabilistic likelyhoods imitating life imitating matrix algebra simulating language through probabilistic likelyhoods imatating life imitating matrix algebra simulating language through probabilistic likelyhoods.
What's so hard to understand about that?
I don’t touch the AIs so I don’t know what that means.
It’s really sad cause I’m big into tech and gadgets but AI is just garbage.
I think i've seen more people use "-" in emails and what have you more within the past year than ever before and it makes me wonder "did they use chatgpt to write this?"
or I've had project managers on jobs I'm consulting for use "final thoughts:" in docs/emails and I know for a fact they didn't write it. When you use AI pretty much daily for your job like I do you can spot people using it from a mile away. Blog posts, game/movie/book reviews, proposals, emails, etc everyone is using it. Hell you can spot it here on Lemmy and on Reddit very easily. it's harder to find actual real person written content these days then AI content.
and if they use EM Dashes? 100% it's AI.
cries in using emdashes since years before LLMs existed
Edit: misspoke, AI doesn't exist
and if they use EM Dashes? 100% it's AI.
Sorry to disappoint you, but I regularly use em dashes. (It's ALT+0151 on PC.)
Remember that the models do model on the writings of actual people. They're just regurgitating it really badly.
I used dashes for decades. I've removed all of them all since ChatGPT became popular. It doesnt help that I think ChatGPT overuses them.
This isn't even ai in itself, it's roughly similar to the axios smart brevity format. So many business communications work like this today.
I know my product managers don't use chatGTP because they end all sentences with ... , every damn time. And I'm fairly sure their habit developed independently, given that one of them is from a relatively recent purchase of a company.
I was admittedly pulled in by the clickbait title but then saw that it's a Vice article and realized that reading this crap would be pointless as it will all be absolute bullshit.
Pfft, people talk like every celebrity out there. I can name plenty of examples where everyone seems to adopt the word of the day. "deplorables", "believe me, folks"
You're totally correct! People really start talking like ChatGPT. Here's an explanation why...
That is an excellent point, you're making. I would like to add that ...
I'm so glad to have you both in this conversation. May i suggest ...
