So perversely chatbots are increasing people's vocabulary because people read so few books anymore and most of their word usage comes from what they read online?
What’s more than that, chatbots use those words because writers use those words. That’s journalist vocab. And bots were trained on articles and written speech. I think you’re right, people just weren’t reading anything.
That's kinda how I took it. Be funny if language evolved back into flowery Victorian speech.
Indeed good sir, that would be quite comical.
It's not flowery though, just bland.
Most likely, yeah.
