Normal bullet hell (Touhou): the enemies shoot a hell of bullets at you. And your job is to avoid it.
Reverse bullet hell (Vampire Survivors): you shoot a hell of bullets at the enemies. And your job is to shoot even more, bigger, stronger bullets.
I'm not aware of any paper about this; specially with how recent LLMs are, it's kind of hard to detect tendencies.
That said, if I had to take a guess, the impact of LLMs in language will be rather subtle:
Some words will become more common because bots use them a lot, and people become more aware of those words. "Delve" comes to my mind. (Urgh. I hate this word.)
Swearing will become more common too. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw an uptick of "fuck" and "shit" after ChatGPT was released. That's because those bots don't swear, so swearing is a good way to show "I'm human".
Idiosyncratic language might also increase, as a mix of the above and to avoid sounding "bland and bot-like". Including letting some small typos to go through on purpose.
Text-to-speech, mentioned by @Shelbyeileen@lemmy.world, is another can of worms; it might reinforce non-common pronunciations until they become common. This should not be a big issue e.g. in Italian (that uses a mostly regular spelling), but it might be noticeable in English.
At those times you kind of get why Ninhelldo is suing Palworld. It is not about direct competition (Palworld plays a lot more like Ark than Pokemon); it's because Palworld makes Pokémon look boring, uninspired, stale.
Correctly highlight when a programmer is being assumptive as a brick, even when assumptions are one of the biggest sins in programming. Done, you've triggered a lot of programmers.
The meaning kind of clicked to me the first time I've seen the word and tried to pronounce it - it ended as [ẽ.'ʒĩ 'ʃis], the first part is close enough to English [ˈɛnd͡ʒɪn] ⟨engine⟩ that the association was obvious. ([ʃis] is just the Portuguese name for ⟨X⟩.)
Even the etymological family is a mess. They all backtrack to Latin caulis stalk, stem, cabbage stem; but even in closely related language varieties they might mean different plant varieties, like
Galician, general - col wild kale/cabbage/whatever, collards
Galician, south - couva~couve kale
Portuguese - couve kale
Spanish - col cabbage
...and of course people had to reborrow the word from Latin to refer to stems in general, to make the thing even messier. (e.g. PT "caule" stem)
Individual tastes are a thing, too. At least someone out there is bound to dislike even the most beloved dishes; the thing, for me, is how many people claim to hate Brussels sprouts, even if they deserve some leafy and greasy love.
Selective breeding does play a role but also how you prepare them. Just like other brassicae if you cook them for too long they start smelling bad, so you want to use high heat and relatively short cooking times.
For example. My go-to approach is to cut them into halves and pan-fry in lard. High fire. People claim it's delicious.
It's a cool read though - I'm still reading it, but so far it did a great job showing that concepts are fuzzy and inside our heads, not those well-defined abstractions in some external realm.
Following this logic, it's human behaviour that predates the internet. And social media catalyses it - what you write is exposed to more people, who know even less about you than RL people would, with access to even less of the context necessary to take conclusions about you and what you say. The "let's fill holes with shit we just made up!" process is still the same, but now there are even more holes to fill.
And the dogpiling you mentioned (forming hive mind jumps in)? Well, it's still that "treating the unknown as if it was certain", but on steroids. Instead of treating what people say as potentially true/false, they treat it as certainly true/false and good/bad and anyone disagreeing/agreeing with you must be picking the right/wrong side.
Perhaps that's a sign that our human nature leans towards tribalism, not towards rationality.
I don't know a good solution for that. What I've been doing is
pre-emptively blocking
disregarding intentions - so I don't become part of the problem (or, if I am part of the problem, become less of)
going "old man screams at cloud" style when I see this sort of assumption online, in the hopes that it changes something
removing egregious examples of people who behave like this, specially in an accusatory way, from communities that I moderate.
