But don’t you think LLMs will affect how people write and by extension how they even talk, and think? That will be fed back into the next LLM or whatever we will call it.
Radio, and later TV, immensely affected language, I think it’s safe to say the LLM will, too.
Don't you think everything affects how people write and by extension how they even talk, and think? The world changes all the time, and the culture changes with it.

Large models are already "contaminated" by the output of other models, or even by previous versions of the same model. That's how their enormous datasets are bootstrapped in the first place - it's impossible without automation. That doesn't matter much; what matters is manual curation during the training and mixing in the data from the real world to keep the model in check. Same as with humans and our intelligence distilled over generations, basically.
