No x, no y, just Z is a pattern so often used by chatGPT it has started to bleed into common usage by people who maybe aren't even using an LLM.

- peddling-brink 11mo agoLanguage is fluid. This is ok. There are many bad things about LLMs, but a benign shift in popular language usage isn't one of them.

What is not fine is Big Money (which most forms of AI are) manipulating society at large - and that's not just the AI companies' doing. Think of Tiktok leading people to say "unalive" instead of the various clear words before (e.g. kill, murder, executed, run over by car, mauled to death by animal).
- idiotsecant 11mo agoI disagree. It's a sign of what is essentially cultural contamination by an LLM. There is something vaguely gross about it, like when people start repeating advertising slogans. It's a sign that someone spent enough money that they directly rewired our brains.
- Marazan 11mo ago> like when people start repeating advertising slogans but without the craft of a good advertising slogan. So worse!

- peddling-brink 11mo agoDo you get grossed out when you step on a linoleum floor? Or you ride an escalator? Or drink out of a thermos? Culture contaminates.
- layer8 11mo agoOr maybe ChatGPT picked it up from common usage.
- idiotsecant 11mo agoIt was used occasionally before chatGPT but it has exploded since then.
- immibis 11mo agoApparently ChatGPT speaks like lower-class Kenyans. You can guess why.
- fsckboy 11mo agowhen i was running for 5th grade class president a number of decades ago, my campaign sign slogan was a "no x, no y, just z" snowclone.
