A recent study by the Max Planck Institute for Human Development has revealed a growing trend: humans are increasingly using language typically associated with AI systems. Researchers analyzed hundreds of thousands of YouTube videos to reach this conclusion.
The study found that words like 'meticulous,' 'adept,' and 'delve' are now used 50% more frequently in human speech than before. These words are characteristic of AI-generated texts. This suggests that AI systems are not only influencing human language, but that humans are also adopting the language of AI.
This phenomenon could lead to a decrease in linguistic diversity. The study highlights the need to be aware of the influence of AI on human communication. It also points out the possible consequences for linguistic diversity, as vibrant and less structured language may be replaced by these more formal and structured terms.
