    Not really. There’s a lot of Eastern Europe where the kids speak English they learned from YouTube, so they all have American accents and call people “bro.” Speach patterns like ChatGPT would be too cheery to be taken seriously by anyone.

    Like, in this world right now, are there people that respond to a question with a chirpy, “Certainly! Let’s dive in to that!”

    Doubt.

      That first bit always feels so false and icky. Like, no I didn’t open up chatGPT to have my butt licked every other sentence. I just need the syntax for X or Y, and no I’m not delving into interesting depths of typescript. I’m monkeypatching the code to make a certain thing work and probably leaving a trail of wanton destruction behind every step I go.

      Certainly! Let’s dive into that:

      As the ChatGPT platform has grown in userbase over the years, it can be assumed that younger foreign users would pick up on the language patterns — specially if they are communicating with the platform on a daily basis.

      Much like the already-existing effect of children picking up on Youtuber’s mannerisms and verbal styles over time, this brings up Nature vs Nurture1 methods of learning.

      I have a friend who has worked in HR that will sometimes slip into that tone, but that’s unrelated to ChatGPT

      But, simultaneously, it is also very, very common for tiktokers and aislop youtubers to just churn out videos with AI voice narration.

      Sometimes that’s paired with an actually human written script, often, nope, ChatGPT or something similar.

      There are a fairly small number of voices that are widely used… and I remember being a kid and just making MSFT Sam say shit and laughing at it, and then emulating it, though as an intentional joke robot voice.

      I think its quite plausible that all the overworked, broke parents that just give their toddler a phone or a tablet… yeah, they’re gonna be watching these short form videos and functionally learning pronounciation that way.
