A study: AI may be making us think and write more alike.
- When we talk to someone else, we both move towards the middle point of yours and the partner's style and beliefs.
- But now there's one conversation partner (a model) that 1) millions of people are talking to, and 2) that doesn't update itself when you talk to it.
- The humans are all swarms of unrelated desires.
- That means we pull towards an evolving centroid in pockets.
- The LLM acts as one cohesive block, automatically.
- So of course we're all being pulled towards one mostly static centroid.
- Another reason having a diversity of models is good.
