I'm sorry but thats a pretty flimsy argument to base a conjecture on. Yes, Delve has appeared to become more popular, and Even if its more common in business Nigerian, that's unlikely to be the cause of its popularity. https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=delve&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=en-GB-2019&smoothing=3 https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=delve&year_sta... Its been getting more popular in british english, so perhaps its over represented in something like news paper archives? Now, if we want to talk about working conditions, I'm all for it. But if we are going to make this poface and very guardian peal clutcher argument against something, can it not be for nigerians (I hope would be) getting a decent wage and conditions? There are so many ethical issues with AI, but this isn't really one of them.

> According to another dataset, “delve” isn’t even the most idiosyncratic word in ChatGPT’s dictionary. “Explore”, “tapestry”, “testament” and “leverage” These are all bullshit business buzzwords. You will see them in any product description. I'm surprised "synergies" isn't in there as well though that may be too 1990s.

  Oh, lord, "tapestry", yes! I can totally vouch for ChatGPT's total (ab)use of that word.- (That and of "In conclusion" and of "In closing" ...)

Yes, I saw no evidence for the conjecture that delve is coming from Nigerians. More likely to just be a result of the LLMs picking up the tone of "interesting explainer article" type content that tries to grab eyeballs online, where "delve" is just the tone they're looking for. Well that's my conjecture. No race angle; sorry Guardian.
