Just saw an article about how people are talking more like ChatGPT.
Bananas are cloned. When a pest or fungus evolves a way around the banana's defenses, the entire crop is destroyed due to a lack of variation.
We're already well aware of the dangers of monoculture. They have been discussed not just with respect to agriculture but also to *human* diversity as well. In particular, it is well-understood that neurodiversity and cultural diversity strengthen, rather than weaken, the performance of teams.
What sorts of vulnerabilities are we creating in our society when so many of us spend time conversing with and learning from a bot that follows the same patterns of speech and "reasoning", with the same assumptions, biases, and failure modes?
