詞源學家亞當·亞歷克西說道，演算法和 AI 不只將現實展現給我們看 --- 他們也扭曲了現實以讓平台利用人們獲取利潤。從 ChatGPT 影響我們的用詞，到 Spotify 將資料集群變成一個新的音樂風格，他揭露新科技如何下意識地改變我們的語言、潮流以及個人意識。他說：「這不是中立的工具。」也鼓勵我們反問自己：「我是怎麼被影響的？」

為什麼我們講話越來越像 ChatGPT？

Algorithms and AI shape what people see, say, and believe, often without their awareness. Since ChatGPT’s rise, studies show the word 'delve' has spread in everyday language, revealing how subtle shifts ripple through culture. Platforms like Spotify and TikTok manufacture trends by amplifying select content, steering human behavior to suit their business goals. When people confuse these distortions for reality, their language, tastes, and worldviews begin to mirror machine logic.

Algorithms Distort Reality, Blurring the Line Between Genuine and Artificial

Digital algorithms now shape what people see, say, and believe, often blurring the line between authentic culture and platform-driven trends. A single word like "delve" has surged in everyday conversation simply because it is overrepresented in AI chatbot responses. As platforms amplify whatever keeps users engaged, artificial trends like "hyperpop" quickly become real-life movements. This feedback loop subtly shifts language, identity, and even political views to align with the interests of technology companies.
