Are algorithms subtly rewriting the way we speak and think?
Etymologist Adam Aleksic explores how technologies like ChatGPT and Spotify are not neutral tools, but forces that actively warp our language, musical tastes, and sense of identity to serve profit-driven platforms.
In this talk, Adam Aleksic examines the invisible influence of AI and algorithms on human culture. He argues that these systems do more than just curate our reality; they reshape it. From the way ChatGPT influences our specific word choices to the way Spotify can transform a mere data cluster into an entirely new musical genre, technology is subconsciously altering our linguistic and cultural evolution.
Aleksic invites viewers to look beyond the convenience of these tools and consider the underlying mechanics of how they exploit users for profit, prompting a vital question: How are we being influenced?
