AI has made the experience of language learners way shittier because now people will just call them AI on the internet.
Also, imagine trying to learn a language and not being able to tell whether it’s your own lack of knowledge or if what you’re reading is actually AI slop and doesn’t make sense.
It’s much more likely that we sound like children than we sound like an LLM.
Children aren’t obsessed with technically correct punctuation, whereas LLMs are. For example, they just love to use em dashes — like this.
Nah. If I’m learning a new language, I’m going to speak like a toddler at first. I’m more likely to be accused of that than an LLM capable of long paragraphs giving minimal accuracy about stuff
As a person who learned English as a second language, I would say probably not. If anything, a human’s grammar/conjugations might be off if they’re learning a new language. A machine, as others have pointed out, would have proper grammar but might be nonsensical.
The way LLM write compared to people who just learning the second language is probably gonna be significantly different, so i doubt there will be the case. Unless the person learn the second language from LLM then yeah.
Who fucking cares what other people think…
Anyone who has to communicate with other people.
So, everyone.
Exclusively if it’s people you care about or you depend on. Anyone else can royally fuck themselves with their opinions.
Every single person on earth. There’s nothing more inherently human than caring about what others think.
I get what you mean though - I also try not to let other people’s judgment affect what I do, but I’d be lying to myself if I claimed it doesn’t, and especially if I claimed I don’t care.
Why? Somebody learning a new language would make mistakes, an AI would make no mistakes.
I wouldn’t say no mistakes, just different types of mistakes.
