"A study from the Max Planck Institute for Human Development analysed close to 280,000 YouTube videos from academic channels and tracked the frequency of words associated with AI-generated text. The findings are clear: in the first 18 months after ChatGPT's release, the use of the word 'delve' increased by 48%, 'realm' by 35%, and 'adept' by 51% in academic spoken content."
"We internalise this virtual vocabulary into daily communication. This is the feedback loop that should concern us. We train AI on human-generated text. AI redistributes that text back to us, statistically optimised and lightly laundered."
The word 'delve' has seen a significant increase in usage, particularly in academic contexts, since the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022. A study analyzed 280,000 YouTube videos and found that terms associated with AI-generated text, like 'delve', have risen sharply. The study indicates that this vocabulary is being internalized into everyday communication, creating a feedback loop where human language is influenced by AI-generated content, raising concerns about the implications of this shift in language dynamics.
