The words you have probably only started using because of ChatGPT
ChatGPT might already be having an impact on the way we speak 😱 Sign up to the weekly Cost Of Living newsletter. Saving tips, deals and money hacks. Sign up Thank you for signing up!

It is one of the most visited websites in the world currently. But is ChatGPT changing the way we speak? It is hard to believe that if you travelled back to the summer of 2022 and uttered the word ChatGPT to someone, they would hit you with a completely blank stare. Just three years ago we hadn't heard of one of the soon-to-be most popular websites in the world. Launched at the end of November 2022, the artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot quickly exploded in popularity. It is pretty much ubiquitous these days and you may now find it hard to imagine not using it regularly - if you are so inclined. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad AI could even be coming into the classroom to make teacher's lives easier, per a report from my colleague and our education specialist Amber Allott. From writing emails to looking for recipes, there are plenty of everyday things you may now rely on ChatGPT for - it has even appeared in the latest season of Love Island. But did you realise it might even be changing the way you speak? Words you might be using because of ChatGPT ChatGPT could be changing the way we speak | KIRAN RIDLEYKIRAN RIDLEY/AFP via Getty Images It might feel like a language is static and set - you learned English as a child and that's it job done. But the way we speak and the words we use are malleable and evolve over time. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Think of how Skype was for a long-time synonymous with video calls in the early parts of the 21st century - now try to recall when you last said it. After all, Skype itself has now shut down, having fallen out of favour with users. This is just a simple example for illustrative purposes, but there will be countless more - we don't speak Middle English anymore for example. The arrival of ChatGPT and its quick widespread adoption may be causing a shift in our language already, according to researchers. The Verge reports that the Max Planck Institute for Human Development has analysed close to 280,000 YouTube videos from academic channels and spotted some trends. Words like 'prowess' and 'tapestry' have seen an untick in use, says the research, being favoured by the AI chatbot in its responses. There was also a 51 per cent increase in speakers using words like 'meticulous,' 'delve,' 'realm,' and 'adept' - compared to three years before ChatGPT's launch. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Hiromu Yakura, the study's lead author, explained: 'We internalise this virtual vocabulary into daily communication.' One of his co-writers added: ''Delve' is only the tip of the iceberg.' Have you noticed people in your lives starting to drop terms like tapestry and realm in conversations recently?

Never more in need of holiday after this nightmare journey
'We arrived just as the doors were closing and the Lumo lady on the inside was deaf to our pleas,' says Fiona Duff Yet again I am in Italy. You would think that getting here before the schools break up for the summer holidays would be so much cheaper. Well, that might be the case for most people, but not yours truly.

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... The problem is because the devil is in the detail, and quite often the details that defy my smooth passage when travelling. On Monday we were going to London – the flights from Stansted to Pisa arrived at a much more suitable time. Any plane arriving somewhere at midnight, when you then have to travel on a bit to reach your destination is just a pain in the bahookie if you ask me. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Anyway we toddled along to Waverley – looked at the departure board and saw that the 11.30am to Kings Cross left from platform 1. So there we sat sipping our coffees and bags full of overpriced sandwiches from the station shops when I decided to check our seat numbers. Lo and behold, we were actually booked on the 11.24am from platform 10. It was 11.20am at that point, so with coffee flying we raced along, up some stairs and then down some stairs. We arrived just as the doors were closing and the Lumo lady on the inside was deaf to our pleas. We raced back to platform 1 just as that train was leaving. Luckily trains are not like planes and generally there is another one coming along in half an hour. I booked tickets on my phone and even managed to secure some seats. The following day, we were at a tube station with one more stop to get to Liverpool Street where the Stansted Express departs. No trains on this line were in sight, and a member of staff explained that there seemed to be a problem, but one might come along in about 20 minutes. So at that point we hot-footed it up to the street and called an Uber, which arrived very soon, although unfortunately parked on the other side of a very busy street. But we got to the airport and onto the plane. At Pisa our friends said we had a chance of catching the 5.20pm to Lucca so we darted to the train station, ran along platform and jumped on the 5.20pm train, which we then found out was going in the opposite direction. But here we are, and never more in need of a holiday.
