This is one of those things that rarely gets talked about that has had a massive effect.

Given how much communication now occurs via text, this is basically offloading the responsibility for sociality itself onto a statistical language model. People electing to imbue themselves with all the charisma and insight of a chatbot because they value expressing themselves that little.
