[1] > A radio device at BBC did all this and not humans?
Technology mediates (human) agency.
[2] > My argument is that radio is a medium through which humans communicate. An LLM is not.
KaiserPro's argument is that radio (a one-way medium) mediates how humans communicate (phonetically), thus influencing how people speak.
Now that does not explain how the printing press and radio have influenced word choice (both of which I would like to see examples of!)
[3] > I can't remember any radio determining words or adjusting grammar of the person speaking through it.
Now media themselves did not really have something that looked like the kind of pseudo-agency that LLMs seemingly have. There may be some kind of qualitative leap.
I mean I get your point, but sadly LLMs are a tool by which humans communicate.
In the same way that handwriting conveys more information about the writer than type, typing ones own thoughts conveys more information about the writer than prompting an LLM.
The analogy here is hiring a speech writer to do your speeches, or dictating to a skilled typist.
> again, your argument is against LLMs and globalisation of culture, not finger printing.
ABSOLUTELY NOT. Do not ever put words in my mouth. My argument is that radio is a medium through which humans communicate. An LLM is not.
