"Even if you don't speak street slang, you'll eventually start using it to some degree because its vocabulary will have become so universally employed."

*yawn* this is how language works all the time everywhere.

What troubles me is the universally shrinking vocabularies we've been seeing, not sinve LLMs, but since we started using "spell-check"... 👀. There's a real dumbimg-down happening to the human race, and AI is just one facet of the language component of it all .
Even if you don't use LLMs to write your prose, you're eventually going to start talking like Claude anyway just because that style will be so universally employed
