A recent study by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development has found a significant increase in the use of certain English words since the launch of ChatGPT, including meticulous, delve, realm, and adept. The analysis of 280,000 academic YouTube videos revealed that AI models are using these words to a greater extent than humans.
The study’s findings suggest that humans may be imitating LLMs (Large Language Models) in their spoken language, raising concerns about the potential impact on linguistic diversity. Researchers believe that people behind the clips may not even realize they are using virtual vocabulary in their daily communication.
The paper, titled “Empirical evidence of Large Language Model’s influence on human spoken communication,” highlights the need for further investigation into the feedback loops between machine behavior and human culture.
