TICS paper warns chatbots may erode human cognitive diversity
MacrinePhD · x · 2026-07-25

The authors warn that repeated exposure to similar LLM outputs could narrow cognitive variety over time, and call for AI systems trained on real-world global diversity instead of a narrow slice of online text.
