"People get used to this idealized, very predictable form of language, and even people who are not using it, in order to have that sense of powerful, influential writing, they start writing more like LLMs."
"AI writing is noticeably 'soulless' and 'mediocre,' even though it is grammatically correct. There's no art in it."
"Chasing 'ChatGPT level polish' dulls authentic voices and encourages what I like to call the 'LinkedIn average,' or the bland corporate speech users on the networking site often use."
"I miss 'good bad writing,' in which prose is so poorly written that it's engaging and uniquely human."
A study from the University of Southern California found that writing style diversity has significantly decreased following the release of ChatGPT. Researchers noted that favored words from ChatGPT are increasingly appearing in everyday language. Experts express concern that reliance on AI-generated content leads to a loss of authentic voices and creativity in writing. The rise of AI usage in various sectors, including small businesses, further complicates the landscape for those wishing to avoid LLM-generated content. The pursuit of polished language may result in bland, corporate-style communication.
