I think it is instead important that scientists, technology experts and researchers stay engaged with political life. It is a small “price” we pay to live in a democracy.

We are all used by now to delve into topics full of LLM influence. But, did you know we started speaking like that too? In other words, LLMs drive language change, our language, not only form a copy-pasted text. alphaxiv.org/abs/2409.13686

Do AIs reason or recite? To account for apple's latest publication, I've updated my post on questions behind reasoning in LLMs. TL;DR: much evidence points to sophisticated pattern matching, but not reasoning. gael-varoquaux.info/science/do-ais…

LLMs are good checking tools

unpopular opinion: there was never anything wrong with “delve”, “intricate”, or any of these words — the problem is overusing flowery language and vacuous generalities, which LLMs and people are prone to do

Human-LLM Coevolution: Evidence from Academic Writing arxiv.org/abs/2502.09606 Hint 1: To delve or not to delve, that is the intricate question! Hint 2: A short and easy-to-read paper! Still the word frequency in arXiv abstracts! 👇👇👇

In April 2024, a few words like "delve" had a viral moment, when researchers pointed out that GPT-4 used it often, and the spread of the word showed AI use was common in scientific papers. Did that result in a decrease in AI use? No, but people started avoiding the word "delve!"

LLM as a Broken Telephone: Iterative Generation Distorts Information LLM-generated content degrades over repeated processing, similar to the “broken telephone” effect in human communication. This study shows that distortion accumulates based on language and chain complexity but

LLMs might distort information when they process their own generated content iteratively, similar to the "broken telephone" game. This paper investigates if and how LLMs distort information through repeated translation, and explores mitigation strategies. 📌 Iterative

Happy to catch up with many friends this morning at the "Broken Telephone" poster. Looking forward to seeing more of you at the "Human-LLM Coevolution" poster this afternoon! #ACL2025 Broken Telephone: aclanthology.org/2025.acl-long.… Human-LLM Coevolution: aclanthology.org/2025.findings-…
