Actually, one interesting and infuriating implication of this is that huge swaths of writing are now automatically suspect as being computer generated for no other reason than the syntax was in the training set. I saw a Ugandan writer complaining that apparently there are elements of Ugandan english in LLM speak now that caused him to immediately get accused of using AI.
