The author doesn't view this as a significant concern, but more of a thought experiment. They believe that while LLMs like ChatGPT may influence children's communication styles, it's unlikely that many children could perfectly replicate the AI's voice. However, the author does acknowledge the potential for AI to influence our communication as these services become more widespread.
Key takeaways:
- The author has noticed their son's speech and writing patterns becoming similar to the AI, ChatGPT, particularly during formal communication.
- While initially finding this amusing, the author considers the wider implications of children adopting the quirks of language learning models (LLMs).
- The author suggests that as humans and LLMs influence each other's language styles, it could become difficult to distinguish between natural and acquired voices.
- Despite these observations, the author does not see this as a major concern and believes that children are unlikely to perfectly replicate the voice of an AI like ChatGPT.
