>When people see an artifact, they make assumptions about the process that was used to create it. Without even thinking about it, they assume the creator had a basically human state of mind. This assumption is no longer true. Things can be broken in ways that weren’t previously possible, and old proxies of underlying quality like syntax and grammar are useless. AI produced artifacts are not produced by the same process as human ones, and this difference, while extremely subtle in statistics, makes itself obvious when you try to interact with and build on the artifact in human ways.

Once Humans just had oral language, and we could us words to pass ideas from one human mind to another. Then with writing ideas could pass to minds that weren't immediately close together in space or time.. and with this we made complext global spanning civilization. When words just become noise, that one has to be suspect of each one as to whither they'er coming from another human mind, or just a statistical process, can this civilization even survive?
