LLMs can quietly shift our attitudes on important social issues. In the experiments, participants wrote about issues such as the death penalty, voting rights for felons, fracking, and genetically modified organisms. As they wrote, the AI subtly nudged them toward one side of the debate. The result? Their attitudes shifted in the direction favored by the AI. They did so quietly. They did not argue, did not debate, did not try to persuade. They simply complete the sentences. This is epistemia in action: the silent shaping of what becomes thinkable, sayable, and believable. And it is LLMorphism at its most dangerous. We treat the model as a neutral linguistic prosthesis, while it is quietly reorganizing our cognition. We risk becoming the LLM. * Paper in the first reply
