If this post the bar, it’s a low one to beat.
Languages, famously static constructs.
We have learned to imitoot you exarkly
Perhaps AI could be used to rewrite this post so that it makes sense.
Clearly language is already doomed judging by this post
Yeah, dude, they’re training on this shit.
So you’re creating the doom you’re prophecising?
Nicely played.
Like, you’re really into this ai shit aren’t you? Coming at me for a shower thought? Let me guess you chastise will smith.
Do you really assume that language does not change if there is no AI involved in teaching? Try reading texts from a century – or even 50 years – ago.
I am not an AI fan but your argument is just fearmongering.
What’s fear mongering your only telling me I’m right?
My only what?
Well, look at USA alone and tell us how many accent they have. Globally there’s like two way to pronounce the word “Herb” and “Data” and “gif”(pronounced like giraffe) and many other word, people still fighting over it yet there’s no “correct” way to pronounce, both are legit. There’s also the whole thing with dialect. Language, pronunciation, and all those thing, its always start from reading it wrong(as in not intended way), then people are taught the same thing on that region, then it became an accent or dialect or what have you. Turning back the clock 200 years from now, i’m pretty sure they talk differently.
This isn’t in support in AI replacing teacher though, as learning lips movement is very important in teaching pronunciation. People talk differently because their lips and tongue move differently, and AI can’t do that. They make sound with speaker, not manipulating how air leave the throat.
I mean, languages evolve over time anyway. If I transported you back 200 years, you would sound like an idiot to everyone around you.
Thus making it more likely.
Edit
Ps you only have to go back 20 minutes to have me sounding like an idiot to everyone around me.
Yeah, I believe your edit.
The rich will have actual human teachers, but the poor will be trained by AI. The result will be language diverging into two Eloi/Morlock-style subpopulations.
Though given that people acquire language from their peers, and invent what they need, Poorish will have a bland, almost mechanical formal register, and a lot of incomprehensible-to-outsiders slang about actual life stuff.
Newspeak double plus good.
wrong
Incorrectly
Then we have the garbage training data in, garbage out situation, but with one extra step.
tbh AI is a better explainer than a public school teacher, mainly because they don’t make enough money to live off
