Don't be so suspicious! I just like to have laugh. You don't have to be sobersides all the time. BTW I can talk about etymology for hours it's one one my favourite topics. I myself am lowland Scots and I doubt if you can inform me about Anglo Saxon roots of lowland Scottish .FlashDangerpants wrote: ↑Mon Jul 07, 2025 9:23 amFewer of them than you think. Even quim is Scottish not Anglo. Shit and fuck are Anglo I believe, but IRC piss is French and **** is latin, and most of the others such as p**** are modern euphemism converted to swears.
There was nothing at all in that post that needed dumbing down. Trying to divert my umbrage with a chance to swear is the least clever tactic you have ever used.
Language evolution is social. Latinate words tend to be posher; high class as to diet ,established religions ,apparel, and academia. Political power likes to be socially exclusive. Take Trump for instance , he pretends to be like a common man and he does the common touch very well. But it's a big ploy to disguise his real political bias towards money and power.
You may be correct in your evaluation of Chat and other AIs, You need to be more explicit. I think the main dangers are one, overuse especially among children, and two , AIs are controlled by commercial interests and can sell to the highest bidder.
