A Hacker News thread discusses a Science.org article about how LLMs are impacting vocabulary in biomedical publications. The article likely shows a shift towards specific, potentially "weaselly" words.
One commenter, accrual, expresses a personal preference for injecting humanity into communication, avoiding LLMs for personal interactions, despite understanding their use in professional settings due to deadlines and other constraints, drawing a parallel to students using LLMs for homework.
Another commenter, em3rgent0rdr, points out the increased use of words like "delves," "potential," and "significant," linking them to the non-committal language often found in AI-generated content, such as Google's AI Overviews.
Finally, derbOac notes that the title likely contains playful word usage, or hinting at something more significant than immediately obvious.
