When I learned that AI was trained off of internet posts, and then LLMs were the new bots making internet posts, it immediately made me think that the entire internet would degrade like a jpeg that you keep compressing and sending around

I guess this is called model collapse

But now I’m wondering if people are collapsing. LLMs start to sound like us. We adapt and start to sound like LLMs that gets fed into the next set of model training…

What is the dystopian version of this end game?

Perhaps a surreal one where we drill past the bedrock and start to communicate in raw tokens, conveying extreme levels of depth and nuance within a single sentence?

When humans carved words into stone, the words and symbols were often suited for the medium, a bunch of straight lines assembled together in various patterns. But with the ink, you get circles, and elaborate curved lines, symbols suited to the movement patterns we can make quickly with our wrist.

But what of the digital keyboard? Any symbol that can be drawn in 2 dimensions. They can be typed quickly, with exact precision. Human language was already destined to head in a weird direction.
