Given that language is an important lens through which we see the world, AI could subtly alter our perceptions and beliefs over the coming years, decades, and centuries.

      Could be, though I am reminded of the early 2000s when the government did research on shorthand texting and whether it could be in encoded messaging. Things like lol, brb, l8t, etc. If there is one thing I know about AI is that garbage data will make the models worse. And I cannot think of a better producer of data that causes confusion than young people especially if they are given an exuse to do so.

      The elderly aren’t the age group where the evolution of language primarily happens.
