Given that language is an important lens through which we see the world, AI could subtly alter our perceptions and beliefs over the coming years, decades, and centuries.

    Would the opposite not be true? AI models work by predicting the next likely text. If we start changing language right from underneath it that actually makes it worse off at predicting as time moves along. If anything I would expect a language model to stagnate our language and attempt to freeze our usage of words to what it can “Understand”. Of course this is subject to continued training and data harvesting, but just like older people eventually have a hard time of understanding the young it could be similar for AI models.
