alt Hacker NewsYeah, I’ve notice that people have started to sound like LLMs even when the LLMs aren’t writing for them. Not stupid people. Not lazy people. Some of the smartest people I know —- I can’t figure out how to use an em dash here, but you get the point.

This could also be explained by the frequency illusion:

If writing goes the way music seems to be going with Angine de Poitrine gaining a huge following as a kind of allergic reaction of people against the 'AI sameness'... then we could be in for a wild ride.
On the other hand, music is primarily an art form and writing (nowadays) is primarily utilitarian I would contend, so maybe the analogy doesn't quite hold up.
No diverging opinions, no unexpected critique, but universal basic intelligence. And here is the kicker: we won't even notice.
Here's an easy three-step plan to unanimous democracy:
• ask your LLM
• don't edit — the LLM has already selected the most average and most plausible opinion for you
• give it your voice, your voice matters
Learn to anticipate — there may not always be a power bank to keep your phone from running low!
