changing how we speak and interact with others. And there’s only more<br>
to come.<br>

Quote:<br>
Join any Zoom call, walk into any lecture hall, or watch any YouTube<br>
video, and listen carefully. Past the content and inside the<br>
linguistic patterns, you’ll find the creeping uniformity of AI voice.<br>
But it’s not just that we’re adopting AI language — it’s about how<br>
we’re starting to sound. Even though current studies mostly focus on<br>
vocabulary, researchers suspect that AI influence is starting to show<br>
up in tone, too — in the form of longer, more structured speech and<br>
muted emotional expression.<br>
------------------<br>
<br>
So AI is not only taking over our thinking; it is teaching us to talk<br>
like AI as well.<br>
I've noticed that people have started apologising in emails for using<br>
CHATGPT to "improve" their writing.<br>
Sometimes justified by not being a native English speaker.<br>
AI is so useful for the younger generation that AI English will<br>
rapidly become the new standard vocabulary.<br>
