Imagine coming up with a machine that effectively gets to decide how humans are "supposed to" write and speak.

Tell you what: "devoid" was definitely a word I knew and used in elementary school.

Am I normal? Nah, not really.
Am I human? I'm pretty damn sure I am, yeah.

Generative AI is making our language and communication poorer. It does this not just by outputting its own garbage but also because now we have AI making arbitrary determinations of what words and phrases we *humans* are or aren't allowed to use.

This makes me want to scream and pull out my hair.

"Reduce your vocabulary by 10-20% to prove you're a human."
