## Language adaption as language models become integral part of society.

Reddit r/ArtificialInteligence News

Summary

The article argues that as LLM-based AI becomes ubiquitous, language should adapt by creating new pronouns for AI, since neither human pronouns ('he/she') nor impersonal 'it' accurately reflect the unique relationship with language-capable non-human entities.

As LLM based AI becomes ubiquitous. Our language will need to adapt and accommodate this by creating new pronouns for AI. I see people referring to their AI as 'him' or 'her'. But this is wrong. It's not a human, and we shouldn't use human pronouns for AI. At the same time, it interacts with us in a way that 'things' don't. Previously only other humans interacted through nuanced language. So calling it an 'it', doesn't fully capture how we relate to something that uses language and is not a human. A new pronoun would be a first step.

This paper investigates whether assigning personas to large language models induces human-like motivated reasoning, finding that persona-assigned LLMs show up to 9% reduced veracity discernment and are up to 90% more likely to evaluate scientific evidence in ways congruent with their induced political identity, with prompt-based debiasing largely ineffective.
