"Language is constantly evolving, particularly in some communities. Not everybody is ready for it at all times. I cannot stand that my community is now constantly 'cooking' or 'cooked', that people in it are 'locked in' or 'cracked.'"
"I looked for medium-frequency words where their use is inflated compared to what wordfreq would assume their frequency should be. Then I looked for the more common of these words and did a Google Trends search."
"Something is going on for sure. Google Trends, in theory, reflects words that people search for. This data set might be a complete fabrication, but for all the words I checked and selected, I also saw an increase on Google Trends."
Language is evolving, particularly within communities, leading to new terms that signal group membership. Some individuals resist these changes, feeling they detract from individuality. Observations indicate that certain words are increasingly used, potentially influenced by language models. An analysis of 90 days of coding sessions revealed medium-frequency words with inflated usage compared to historical norms. Google Trends data supports the observation of increased searches for these terms, suggesting a connection between human and machine-generated language changes.
