You're totally correct! People really start talking like ChatGPT. Here's an explanation why...

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 61 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That is an excellent point, you're making. I would like to add that ...

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm so glad to have you both in this conversation. May i suggest ...

[–] 01189998819991197253 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You're correct. As you know, I am still learning...

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)
[–] jawa22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 week ago

Sure! How would you prefer I make it stop, or would you like to talk about something else?

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 54 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I haven't noticed this yet fortunately. Anyone?

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 32 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Not really. There's a lot of Eastern Europe where the kids speak English they learned from YouTube, so they all have American accents and call people "bro." Speach patterns like ChatGPT would be too cheery to be taken seriously by anyone.

Like, in this world right now, are there people that respond to a question with a chirpy, "Certainly! Let's dive in to that!"

Doubt.

Certainly! Let's dive into that:

As the ChatGPT platform has grown in userbase over the years, it can be assumed that younger foreign users would pick up on the language patterns — specially if they are communicating with the platform on a daily basis.

Much like the already-existing effect of children picking up on Youtuber's mannerisms and verbal styles over time, this brings up Nature vs Nurture1 methods of learning.

Would you like to explore more about how this comment was generated by a human with no LLM help, or tricks to make your own written text sound like you're fake?

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

No thanks, I just threw up in my mouth.

[–] octoshrimpy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago

Oh no! 😨 I'm sorry to hear that!

Would you like to talk about your symptoms or hear about our lab-grown brain implants that mostly override physical symptoms by showing you ads relevant to what your neighbor browses past 8PM?

[–] DonAntonioMagino@feddit.nl 5 points 1 week ago

Alright, I’ll be here if you need any help!

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If you truly didn't use LLM, kudos to you. You managed to switch my brain off in the first paragraph like only slop does. I had to force myself to read it

[–] octoshrimpy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

Thank you! Nothin AI about it, just good ol' thumb-smashing on a phone hahaha

[–] rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't think ChatGPT would have output "specially", right?

I have a friend who has worked in HR that will sometimes slip into that tone, but that's unrelated to ChatGPT

But, simultaneously, it is also very, very common for tiktokers and aislop youtubers to just churn out videos with AI voice narration.

Sometimes that's paired with an actually human written script, often, nope, ChatGPT or something similar.

There are a fairly small number of voices that are widely used... and I remember being a kid and just making MSFT Sam say shit and laughing at it, and then emulating it, though as an intentional joke robot voice.

I think its quite plausible that all the overworked, broke parents that just give their toddler a phone or a tablet... yeah, they're gonna be watching these short form videos and functionally learning pronounciation that way.

[–] Iceblade02@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

That first bit always feels so false and icky. Like, no I didn't open up chatGPT to have my butt licked every other sentence. I just need the syntax for X or Y, and no I'm not delving into interesting depths of typescript. I'm monkeypatching the code to make a certain thing work and probably leaving a trail of wanton destruction behind every step I go.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 21 points 1 week ago

Just the occasional garbage comment or message where someone has clearly just copied and pasted a direct LLM output.

I do feel like lately I have people more bluntly asking me for stuff though and getting frustrated respectfully respecifying what they want but that also started before covid. People just want answers they think should be readily available for a while now.

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

It's a Vice article so it's all bullshit anyhow.

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

There's so very much in that paper that doesn't seem to suggest what they are saying it does. It suggests people are directly using those tools to create scripts for academic videos instead of their fundamental speech changing. They state that they manually reviewed for "reading vs spontaneous" and found about 30 percent were directly reading a script, but extrapolating the non "reading" samples to not have used AI copy edited outlines in this context is a leap. It would make more sense that they did. These lecture videos were not examples of natural language use in any sense.

Our study is focused on academic communication, yet we anticipate that similar patterns may extend to other communicative contexts.

Seems particularly unfounded (though it really has enough hedges to make it a non statement "similar" "may" with no reference to what context they're thinking of). It's also a preprint that gets most of its models from preprints.

Then the vice article takes every weakness of the paper and actually amplifies them to a really profound degree. We've got researchers trying to push an AI is transformative narrative and a journalist trying to push an AI makes you stupid narrative right off a cliff into "popsci journalists reporting on preprints make stupid claims" pit.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago (2 children)

No thanks. I model my speech after movie/TV show characters like a normal person.

[–] morphballganon@mtgzone.com 5 points 1 week ago

Like Yosemite Sam and Foghorn Leghorn, hopefully

Why re invent the wheel when there ready made templates for any identy one would think of!

A year after Elon bought Twitter there was a study done that found out roughly half of all Twitter users are fake.

Most reddit users are fake now.

The spam from AI bots are draining more electricity than cities, it is quickly becoming the majority of global power usage.

These datacenters need to be burned down.

[–] leftthegroup@lemmings.world 3 points 1 week ago

With the owners inside, preferably.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I probably would be among the last to notice, as I have never used this.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I understand, and there is no need to feel out of place. It is perfectly fine to engage at your own pace. Should you choose to explore this further, I am here to provide any assistance you may need with utmost support and encouragement.

Comment of the day 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Literally don't talk to enough people to notice. 🤷🏿‍♀️

AI shills are coming for you... Dont you want a friend who lives in data center?!

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 week ago

"You can totally trust things that sound like they're AI generated, that's just how people talk now! Trust us!"

Was this funded by ChatGPT?

[–] stabby_cicada@slrpnk.net 10 points 1 week ago

Joke's on them, I already talked like that 😆

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago

The words they studied were, delve, realm, meticulous and adept.

[–] Windex007@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

It's just a case of art imitating life imitating art imitating life imitating art imitating life. What's so hard to understand about that?

[–] gointhefridge@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 week ago

I don’t touch the AIs so I don’t know what that means.

It’s really sad cause I’m big into tech and gadgets but AI is just garbage.

[–] rozodru@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (5 children)

I think i've seen more people use "-" in emails and what have you more within the past year than ever before and it makes me wonder "did they use chatgpt to write this?"

or I've had project managers on jobs I'm consulting for use "final thoughts:" in docs/emails and I know for a fact they didn't write it. When you use AI pretty much daily for your job like I do you can spot people using it from a mile away. Blog posts, game/movie/book reviews, proposals, emails, etc everyone is using it. Hell you can spot it here on Lemmy and on Reddit very easily. it's harder to find actual real person written content these days then AI content.

and if they use EM Dashes? 100% it's AI.

[–] scott@lemmy.org 22 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

cries in using emdashes since years before LLMs existed

Edit: misspoke, AI doesn't exist

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Sorry to disappoint you, but I regularly use em dashes. (It's ALT+0151 on PC.)

Remember that the models do model on the writings of actual people. They're just regurgitating it really badly.

[–] Grabthar@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Applications such as Exchange/Outlook turn a double dash to an em dash when you type it. I've used them for a couple decades.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Oh, that's kinda useful to know. Thanks.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Libre office always extends my - - - little dashes - - -

[–] Eyron@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I used dashes for decades. I've removed all of them all since ChatGPT became popular. It doesnt help that I think ChatGPT overuses them.

I was admittedly pulled in by the clickbait title but then saw that it's a Vice article and realized that reading this crap would be pointless as it will all be absolute bullshit.
