How LLMs Distort Our Written Language

Large language models (LLMs) are widely used to assist writing, but this study shows they alter both tone and meaning of human text. A user study found that heavy LLM use increased neutral essays by nearly 70% and made writers feel less creative and less in their voice. Even when prompted to make only grammar edits, LLMs changed the semantic content of essays and produced AI-generated scientific reviews that were less focused on clarity and significance and scored higher on average.

The Argument and the Letterhead: Source-Position Coherence in AI Evaluation

The paper investigates whether AI evaluators differentiate between an argument’s content and the source attributed to it. Using 2,976 evaluations of six fixed texts across various source attributions, the study finds that the perceived quality of an argument varies with its source, indicating source-position coherence. The authors also note that this pattern holds across topics and model configurations, and that some evaluators explicitly noted mismatches between source and position.
