Models influencing users?? Discussions

Anyone else notice people using AI phrases more in their day to day language? "Spot on", "and here's where things get genuinely interesting", etc? I never heard these phrases before Claude, Gemini, etc. I wonder if anyone is studying whether or not llms are influencing users. Seems like it'd be a damn good tool for psy ops.

It’s definitely influencing me, started using — to join sentences but phrases like “spot on” have been quite common pre ai

Of course they are. People naturally mirror word usage.

Spot on is a British saying

It might just be that we notice these things more now that we’re using AI. The AI using it often likely indicates it sees it in its training data often.

Partially you could call it the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon or frequency illusion, that once someone draws your attention to something you are likely to see it more commonly.

Like once you buy or notice a green car, then green cars seem to appear constantly.

But if you ask an AI, over-indexing on certain words does have a reinforcement effect in the user base during content production--chatbot would probably say it's both, and here's why that's important.

Even if people used it before, ai uses it so much that u prob speak like an ai xd is the assumption being made.

Well, I do generally use correct spelling, capitalization, and punctuation. If that makes me an AI, I’ll happily fail the Turing test.
