Humans mimic AI-ese writing styles

A Reddit user’s realization of adopting AI-like linguistic patterns highlights a growing global trend where humans, especially non-native speakers, are "reverse-learning" from Large Language Models. This phenomenon, dubbed "AI-ese," is blurring the lines between human and machine communication as users adopt the structured, polite, and neutral tone of RLHF-trained models.

// ANALYSIS

"AI-ese" is the new corporate jargon, and it's making us all sound like polite, hyper-structured robots.

–Non-native speakers use LLMs as a "linguistic equalizer," leading to a spike in specific vocabulary like "delve" and "tapestry" in academic writing.
–The "perfect English" trap: AI-generated text is often more "standardized" than human speech, causing AI detectors to flag non-native human writing as fraudulent.
–Linguistic contagion: Frequent AI users are subconsciously adopting the "balanced" and non-confrontational tone of RLHF-trained models.
–"Human-proofing" is becoming a skill, with writers intentionally adding "messy" grammatical quirks to prove their humanity.
