Hypothesis: Stupider people with weaker senses of self are more likely to use chatgpt. That kind of person is also more likely to adopt the language of others. There are many such people.

Thus, the language used on average changes.

I expect smarter people with stronger identities won't have much change.

No. AI use correlates with being younger and more educated.

Interesting. Thanks for the link. I realize I didn't really define "smart", so I'm not sure education is a good proxy for it, but this does make my hypothesis look more doubtful

I think you can find ethically good, bad and gray uses for AI.

The top commenter here mentions Youtube content creators using it. Most of them are on YT to make money. So its a rational smart choice to let AI do your writing, if it makes you more efficient and means you can earn more.
