Are we all becoming the same person?

Well, that’s how human progress works. Like a virus, knowledge spreads sporadically. Sometimes that pace accelerate/slows down. Sometimes it just doesn’t reach huge number of people until someone considers them their target audience.

Example, there are more people who don’t know how to use simple data collection tools like Google Forms in their business than those who do.

Here is an interesting paper from the not long ago: https://www.johannetrippas.com/papers/trippas2024what.pdf
I think the sample size is minuscule but it aligns with my personal experience.

That 15-word prompt insight is meaningful, and it clearly captured the state of interaction at the time of that study.

But what seems to be changing quickly now is how people interact with models. More and more are speaking instead of writing. And when that happens, prompts naturally become longer, more fluid, and often more exploratory by default.

This shift from text to voice isn’t just about word count — it changes the dynamic of the interaction itself.

I wrote this post recently, in case it’s relevant to that direction:
Interacting with AI: How Different Methods Affect Your Experience

It’s just one angle, but it might connect to where things are headed.

I agree with you. But the problem is that more people let it pass through, by multiple orders of magnitude.

Most people still let it pass through, but the interaction style itself might start nudging things toward more depth.
