The homogenizing effect of large language models on human expression and thought
Sourati Z, S. Ziabari A, Dehghani M. The homogenizing effect of large language models on human expression and thought. Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2026; Online March 11, 2026. No paywall.
“Cognitive diversity, reflected in variations of language, perspective, and reasoning, is essential to creativity and collective intelligence. This diversity is rich and grounded in culture, history, and individual experience. Yet, as large language models (LLMs) become deeply embedded in people’s lives, they risk standardizing language and reasoning. We synthesize evidence across linguistics, psychology, cognitive science, and computer science to show how LLMs reflect and reinforce dominant styles while marginalizing alternative voices and reasoning strategies. We examine how their design and widespread use contribute to this effect by mirroring patterns in their training data and amplifying convergence as all people increasingly rely on the same models across contexts. Unchecked, this homogenization risks flattening the cognitive landscapes that drive collective intelligence and adaptability.”

Dancing robot seen dragged away by panicked restaurant staff after going haywire in bizarre video: ‘Actually scary’
This machine rages against you.
The rise of the machines could be closer than you think. A humanoid bot had to be “bounced” from a California restaurant after smashing tableware during a dance routine gone awry, as seen in viral X footage.
The smashing machine had reportedly been tasked with performing for patrons at the Haidilao hotpot restaurant in San Jose.
Just for fun…
