Speech and thought are bidirectional, meaning not only is there the obvious relationship of thought influencing language but there is a less obvious relationship where language actually changes how we think. Much like how the food you consume becomes your bones, muscles and nerves, you "are what you eat" when it comes to words, speech and thoughts. In that sense the language of a message gives us insight into the mind of the author beyond their literal intent.

Which is scary when you consider people actually think in a manner that produces this ultra processed corporate diarrhea. It's no wonder these people believe LLMs can replace humanity when their thoughts look like this. Shit is like reverse poetry. The only coherent message I see is that companies delivering ultra processed foods have ultra processed minds. Slop. Guessing that wasn't their literal intent.

I hope the people affected end up with something better.
