As AI systems flood social platforms with patterned language, human users are unconsciously absorbing and mimicking these speech patterns—creating a feedback loop where bot-generated content becomes the template for authentic human discourse. The concern isn't deception but rather that algorithmic language is colonizing human expression at scale, flattening the idiosyncratic, messy textures that made online communities legible to each other. Platforms benefit from training on this homogenized corpus, while human communication becomes increasingly indistinguishable from—and derivative of—the systems designed to engage us.
