  I Hate Talking: Welcome to episode 107 of I Hate Talking.
• 0:32
  I Hate Talking: Hi everyone.
• 0:33
  I Hate Talking: So our word or phrase of this episode will be a word, and it is the word delve, delve, like, let's delve into this.
• 0:43
  I Hate Talking: That's exactly right, yeah, OK, which I thought you were gonna say now.
• 0:48
  I Hate Talking: Well, I don't know, we'll have to check the exact definition, but it seems that this word delve has replaced the phrase dive in.
• 0:57
  I Hate Talking: OK, yeah, I believe it, cause even when I said that, the second I saw your face, I was like, oh no, it's dive, dive in, you're gonna correct me.
• 1:08
  I Hate Talking: But I was correct, and for some reason, that was my first instinct was delve in.
• 1:13
  I Hate Talking: Yes delve into it.
• 1:15
  I Hate Talking: Yes, dive in, maybe correct for now, but it seems that delve is overtaking.
• 1:22
  I Hate Talking: Dive in.
• 1:24
  I Hate Talking: OK, well, tell me about it because I know delve, and that's the phrase I would use.
• 1:29
  I Hate Talking: Is it like a cultural or a linguistic like area?
• 1:34
  I Hate Talking: No, it's actually AI.
• 1:36
  I Hate Talking: So it seems like this podcast we talk about AI quite frequently, but lately, yeah.
• 1:42
  I Hate Talking: Nonetheless that we know of.
• 1:45
  I Hate Talking: I guess it depends if you subscribe to the simulation theory or not.
• 1:52
  I Hate Talking: I severed.
• 1:54
  I Hate Talking: Oh, that's such a good show like wait for it to come back.
• 1:58
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, more like the Matrix probably would be a better.
• 2:02
  I Hate Talking: Movie, show description of.
• 2:06
  I Hate Talking: The theory of AI not AI delve and dive.
• 2:14
  I Hate Talking: No.
• 2:15
  I Hate Talking: Simulation theory.
• 2:18
  I Hate Talking: OK.
• 2:19
  I Hate Talking: Severed is borderline simulation theory, -- I -- suppose.
• 2:24
  I Hate Talking: It's good, but it's not simulated environment, right?
• 2:26
  I Hate Talking: You're still in your physical environment.
• 2:28
  I Hate Talking: You're just in a different mind, right, right.
• 2:33
  I Hate Talking: So anyway, the theory on Delve and how that has become more popular is from a short clip that I saw of a larger podcast, and I have not looked up that podcast, so perhaps we can find it afterwards to give appropriate credit and maybe even watch the entire.
• 2:55
  I Hate Talking: Episode rather than just a clip, but this particular guest on this podcast cites that AI, specifically generative chat, AI and large language models prefer.
• 3:10
  I Hate Talking: Words with Greek or Latin roots.
• 3:13
  I Hate Talking: And it will actually substitute more common language that comes from other etymologies like Germanic or French or some of the different mashups that we've discussed in previous episodes, and it will therefore replace those words or phrases with these less used.
• 3:35
  I Hate Talking: Greek and Latin words, delve being one of them.
• 3:40
  I Hate Talking: OK, so two things first.
• 3:43
  I Hate Talking: We kind of joked about being AI, but you definitely prefer freaking Latin.
• 3:50
  I Hate Talking: Right?
• 3:51
  I Hate Talking: I do.
• 3:53
  I Hate Talking: Maybe I will side with AI on this one, and once we look at the definition and etymology.
• 3:58
  I Hate Talking: I will perhaps be a proponent of using delve, but I think dive in is a more commonly used and probably better understood phrase.
• 4:09
  I Hate Talking: If you have a pool.
• 4:10
  I Hate Talking: No, like if we want to dive into this topic, yeah, cause you're like on the edge of the pool and you jump in, you dive into it.
• 4:17
  I Hate Talking: I guess maybe we'll do a 2 for 1 and we'll look at the etymology and definition of the phrase dive in as well.
• 4:23
  I Hate Talking: Overly dive into this topic.
• 4:25
  I Hate Talking: See, I have.
• 4:27
  I Hate Talking: Hesitancy about using it as like a pure verb.
• 4:32
  I Hate Talking: Let's delve in.
• 4:33
  I Hate Talking: Like I could see it more as a past participle or something like we are going to or we delved in, that's really delved into that topic.
• 4:44
  I Hate Talking: I'd use it.
• 4:45
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, I think that would be correct, but it still seems a little bit.
• 4:49
  I Hate Talking: Stutter step for me.
• 4:51
  I Hate Talking: Unfortunately, now I feel like I'm biased one way or another, but if, if I'm trying to be as unbiased as possible, I think if I'm using the phrase, I'd say, OK, everyone, let's dive in.
• 5:03
  I Hate Talking: Like, let's do it present tense right now, jump in.
• 5:07
  I Hate Talking: Or if I'm talking about to a friend like, hey, we posted this podcast, we really delved into that topic.
• 5:14
  I Hate Talking: Meaning like, so I think I use it past tense, delve in.
• 5:19
  I Hate Talking: I guess I would.
• 5:21
  I Hate Talking: Probably be more comfortable using it as a future, like we will delve into this topic.
• 5:27
  I Hate Talking: No, that doesn't sound right.
• 5:30
  I Hate Talking: We'll dive in.
• 5:32
  I Hate Talking: We'll dive in.
• 5:34
  I Hate Talking: We will dive into this topic.
• 5:36
  I Hate Talking: But we did really dived into that.
• 5:39
  I Hate Talking: That doesn't sound right.
• 5:40
  I Hate Talking: Well, it's because it's Dove.
• 5:41
  I Hate Talking: Really dove into that topic.
• 5:45
  I Hate Talking: That still doesn't sound right.
• 5:46
  I Hate Talking: I, I understand you, you're right.
• 5:49
  I Hate Talking: OK, it's not dived in, it's dove in.
• 5:52
  I Hate Talking: Both of those don't sound right.
• 5:54
  I Hate Talking: We delve into it.
• 5:55
  I Hate Talking: I suppose so.
• 5:58
  I Hate Talking: Well, let's see what our new favorite American Heritage Dictionary has to say about this.
• 6:04
  I Hate Talking: So they defined delve as a verb, and it actually has 4 different definitions.
• 6:12
  I Hate Talking: And one of those definitions actually has 3 subdefinitions, so quite a bit to delve into here.
• 6:20
  I Hate Talking: So number one, to search deeply or laboriously.
• 6:24
  I Hate Talking: As in, delve through the court records.
• 6:28
  I Hate Talking: OK.
• 6:29
  I Hate Talking: So that's something that's a little bit different because you're almost like going through a sorting.
• 6:35
  I Hate Talking: And that probably would not really fit with dive in.
• 6:39
  I Hate Talking: That's more like digging into, right?
• 6:42
  I Hate Talking: I think that's very adjacent.
• 6:44
  I Hate Talking: Like dive in, like let's jump in and do this.
• 6:47
  I Hate Talking: Where if you're like sorting through something, you're digging through something.
• 6:51
  I Hate Talking: There you go.
• 6:53
  I Hate Talking: Does that make sense?
• 6:55
  I Hate Talking: That does make sense.
• 6:55
  I Hate Talking: So maybe that's actually a pro for using dive or dig, OK.
• 7:02
  I Hate Talking: And then definition number 2 has 3 different subdefinitions.
• 7:08
  I Hate Talking: So 2A, to research or make inquiries into something.
• 7:12
  I Hate Talking: So scientists delving into gene regulation is the example.
• 7:16
  I Hate Talking: 2 B, to undertake an activity or occupation undeterred by difficulty or uncertainty.
• 7:23
  I Hate Talking: They delved into writing a blog.
• 7:26
  I Hate Talking: Hm, OK.
• 7:26
  I Hate Talking: To see, to discuss or explain something, especially in detail, the article delves into the problems facing the banking system.
• 7:37
  I Hate Talking: OK.
• 7:38
  I Hate Talking: 3 to enter or move into an area in which movement is difficult.
• 7:43
  I Hate Talking: Why is that 3?
• 7:44
  I Hate Talking: Isn't that 4?
• 7:44
  I Hate Talking: You just give us 4 -- Because I'm tracking in my head how many -- there's 12, A, -- 2 B -- 2 C, A, B, and C, OK.
• 7:54
  I Hate Talking: Oh, my numbers are messed up now.
• 7:57
  I Hate Talking: OK, so 3A is to enter or move into an area in which movement is difficult.
• 8:05
  I Hate Talking: The explorers delved into the forest.
• 8:08
  I Hate Talking: OK.
• 8:09
  I Hate Talking: And then 4 is to dig the ground as with a spade, which comes from an archaic use of the word to dig.
• 8:18
  I Hate Talking: So if I'm hearing those now, I might have messed these up because there's like A's and B's mixed in with 12, 3s, but 2B to me seemed like the proper, you could swap dive, like, jump in, there's a pool of water, jump in, full body, get covered with water.
• 8:43
  I Hate Talking: Every other 112, A, 3 and 4, to me I'll seem like Doug.
• 8:51
  I Hate Talking: It's more appropriate, like you were digging, like you're searching for something and you're like, hands only looking through a bunch of dirt to try to get to a topic.
• 9:03
  I Hate Talking: Does that sound right to you?
• 9:05
  I Hate Talking: Do you agree with that?
• 9:06
  I Hate Talking: That the 2B.
• 9:08
  I Hate Talking: No, 20 no, yeah, so research or make inquiries into something is which one.
• 9:14
  I Hate Talking: 2 2A.
• 9:16
  I Hate Talking: Yes, so 2B is like full body.
• 9:19
  I Hate Talking: I'm in it, because once you dive into a pool, you are literally over your head in water.
• 9:26
  I Hate Talking: You can't dive in.
• 9:27
  I Hate Talking: Unless it's really shallow and then you're really hurt, right?
• 9:32
  I Hate Talking: So diving in means you're fully in over your head.
• 9:36
  I Hate Talking: Entire bodies committed to this, but if you're digging.
• 9:41
  I Hate Talking: You can go as deep as you want and still not get fully into it.
• 9:47
  I Hate Talking: I suppose so.
• 9:49
  I Hate Talking: So I feel like out of those 5 you gave, 4 of them were more into digging as far as you want to go, where 1 was a full commitment.
• 9:59
  I Hate Talking: Yes, I suppose so.
• 10:01
  I Hate Talking: So I don't know where I'm going with that.
• 10:03
  I Hate Talking: I'm just saying those are different.
• 10:05
  I Hate Talking: They are different, but Delve could cover both of them.
• 10:08
  I Hate Talking: But for those, Delve seems more intense.
• 10:12
  I Hate Talking: 4 out of 5 times Delve.
• 10:15
  I Hate Talking: Was used more appropriately for.
• 10:19
  I Hate Talking: Dig, yes.
• 10:21
  I Hate Talking: Which makes sense because that is the origin of the word deth.
• 10:25
  I Hate Talking: So now I'm questioning these podcasters that had this clip because I did take it at face value.
• 10:31
  I Hate Talking: It made sense that like AI is going to prefer.
• 10:36
  I Hate Talking: Greek and Latin, and maybe I misunderstood, but I'm pretty sure I did not because their particular hypothesis is that AI prefers to sound smart and if you use words with Greek or Latin roots that those will typically be quote unquote smarter sounding words, but it seems that the word delve does not actually have any Greek or Latin roots.
• 10:58
  I Hate Talking: And that it came from.
• 11:00
  I Hate Talking: English, Old English, and then previously previously to that Old High German and Old Norse.
• 11:08
  I Hate Talking: Like Norwi, like Norway, Nordic, yes, Norse.
• 11:13
  I Hate Talking: OK, so.
• 11:15
  I Hate Talking: The word delve as we use it in the modern English comes from the Old English.
• 11:21
  I Hate Talking: Delphin, which means to dig.
• 11:24
  I Hate Talking: And that it is related to similar words in other Germanic languages.
• 11:30
  I Hate Talking: Where in German it is Telban and in Norse Delta.
• 11:36
  I Hate Talking: And then it typically referred to the physical act of digging in the 12th century.
• 11:41
  I Hate Talking: And then over time took on more metaphorical meanings representing thorough investigation or research.
• 11:50
  I Hate Talking: Mhm.
• 11:51
  I Hate Talking: So it is more about digging than diving.
• 11:55
  I Hate Talking: Yes.
• 11:57
  I Hate Talking: So, their comparison.
• 11:59
  I Hate Talking: was not even completely accurate because they were comparing dive in versus delve.
• 12:06
  I Hate Talking: And really, it would be more appropriate to compare, dig in and delve.
• 12:12
  I Hate Talking: I'll ask my AI right now.
• 12:14
  I Hate Talking: Um, live, which they think it is.
• 12:19
  I Hate Talking: Does it come from?
• 12:20
  I Hate Talking: Dig, or do they come from dive?
• 12:23
  I Hate Talking: Let's see what they say.
• 12:24
  I Hate Talking: OK.
• 12:25
  I Hate Talking: D E L V E.
• 12:28
  I Hate Talking: OK, this is what Gemini says.
• 12:31
  I Hate Talking: You ready?
• 12:32
  I Hate Talking: OK.
• 12:33
  I Hate Talking: My question prompt for Gemini was, does delve in come from dive in or dug in?
• 12:41
  I Hate Talking: And it says, the phrase delve in is most closely related to delve.
• 12:49
  I Hate Talking: Which comes from the Old English word del in, meaning to dig.
• 12:55
  I Hate Talking: Well, delve in, dive in, and dug in all share a sense of immersion and getting into something deep.
• 13:03
  I Hate Talking: They have distinct origins and nuance.
• 13:07
  I Hate Talking: One, delve.
• 13:09
  I Hate Talking: Is Old English to delve literally means to spade over the earth.
• 13:15
  I Hate Talking: There's a whole bunch of stuff I'm gonna skip down to dive in.
• 13:20
  I Hate Talking: Suggest a quick headfirst plunge, referring to a task with high energy or enthusiasm, like diving in a pool.
• 13:30
  I Hate Talking: Or 3 dug in.
• 13:33
  I Hate Talking: Which usually implies a state of being firmly established or resistance to change.
• 13:41
  I Hate Talking: Interesting.
• 13:42
  I Hate Talking: So it uses dig in as sort of taking a firm position on something.
• 13:46
  I Hate Talking: Mhm.
• 13:47
  I Hate Talking: Which you've heard, right?
• 13:49
  I Hate Talking: Like he really dug in his.
• 13:51
  I Hate Talking: Heels what is that?
• 13:54
  I Hate Talking: What do you say?
• 13:55
  I Hate Talking: You say something, right, like you really dug into that, meaning like they're not changing their minds.
• 14:00
  I Hate Talking: OK, yeah, so that is what Gemini, my Gemini says, which is very different than what The people you were saying.
• 14:09
  I Hate Talking: We're saying AI sets, Gemini is AI.
• 14:13
  I Hate Talking: But what is your duck?
• 14:15
  I Hate Talking: Ask duck, what is it called?
• 14:18
  I Hate Talking: Duck duck go duck duck.
• 14:19
  I Hate Talking: OK, by the way, when I've never heard of that in my life until a couple of podcasts ago when you mentioned it.
• 14:27
  I Hate Talking: Afterwards I asked the kiddos, like, do you know what Google search daddies is?
• 14:32
  I Hate Talking: And all of them said they use duck ducko.
• 14:36
  I Hate Talking: I didn't even have to tell them which one it was.
• 14:39
  I Hate Talking: I was like, What?
• 14:40
  I Hate Talking: I'm proud of them.
• 14:40
  I Hate Talking: So without a shadow of a doubt they instantly said -- duck duck -- go without even you prompting them.
• 14:47
  I Hate Talking: No, I just said, do you know which one Dad likes best?
• 14:50
  I Hate Talking: There you go.
• 14:51
  I Hate Talking: I didn't even know it existed.
• 14:54
  I Hate Talking: And the very following day, all 4 of them admitted that's the search engine they use.
• 14:59
  I Hate Talking: Well, there you go.
• 15:00
  I Hate Talking: At least I'm doing something right as a dad.
• 15:01
  I Hate Talking: It So, American Heritage Dictionary does not have an entry for the phrase dive in.
• 15:10
  I Hate Talking: It obviously has dive.
• 15:11
  I Hate Talking: So if we skip down to Cambridge Dictionary because we no longer have access to our old favorite English language dictionary.
• 15:21
  I Hate Talking: Cambridge Dictionary defines dive in as to start something suddenly and energetically.
• 15:28
  I Hate Talking: Often without stopping to think.
• 15:31
  I Hate Talking: Right, I guess which makes sense.
• 15:34
  I Hate Talking: My Gemini was saying like jumping in quickly with enthusiasm, which isn't how I would have described it.
• 15:41
  I Hate Talking: But Gemini is saying, yeah, like with enthusiasm quickly, right?
• 15:45
  I Hate Talking: You're doing this and yours is saying doing it without thinking.
• 15:49
  I Hate Talking: Yes, suddenly energetically why I can't even say that what -- energetically -- energetically.
• 15:57
  I Hate Talking: I think you said it fine.
• 15:58
  I Hate Talking: I don't think so, but it's a, it's probably just a personality trait.
• 16:03
  I Hate Talking: Anytime I've attempted to dive in.
• 16:07
  I Hate Talking: It's not ever in genetic.
• 16:10
  I Hate Talking: Oh no, now you're messing me up.
• 16:14
  I Hate Talking: Energetically or without thinking, I'm always on the end of the diving board, contemplating it for longer than socially appropriate.
• 16:25
  I Hate Talking: Yes, so, I think the podcast people in the clip were, are majorly wrong in this.
• 16:33
  I Hate Talking: So you're saying podcast can be wrong I think so, because they were saying that delve was from Greek and Latin.
• 16:41
  I Hate Talking: They were saying that delve is used in place of dive in, but as we've done during the course of this discussion, dive in is more with the approach of how you do something, not necessarily what you are doing.
• 16:56
  I Hate Talking: Now, I still think you can use the phrase dive in as like, you're gonna look deeply into something and do a lot of research, but that actually is not the correct definition, apparently.
• 17:08
  I Hate Talking: I mean, if we're using it as like enthusiastically, saying like, all right, next week we'll dive into this, like, we're excited, we're gonna do this, right?
• 17:18
  I Hate Talking: But in general, yes, I agree it's not.
• 17:22
  I Hate Talking: They were saying, but we're not gonna sit, we're not gonna call them out, are we?
• 17:27
  I Hate Talking: Because I don't wanna get rivals in the podcast world.
• 17:30
  I Hate Talking: I don't know.
• 17:31
  I Hate Talking: That's how people get famous in the podcast world, I guess.
• 17:33
  I Hate Talking: I know.
• 17:33
  I Hate Talking: I guess it's like that question, right?
• 17:36
  I Hate Talking: We, we will not get into it on here, but we've had a personal issue where we're like, how far do we get involved in this because it does not affect us.
• 17:46
  I Hate Talking: But also, we have an opinion.
• 17:50
  I Hate Talking: In our personal life.
• 17:52
  I Hate Talking: So it's like that.
• 17:55
  I Hate Talking: These podcasters, we can just live on with our lives, right?
• 17:58
  I Hate Talking: Like, are we obligated to warn people that they're wrong?
• 18:02
  I Hate Talking: Or just let them do their thing.
• 18:05
  I Hate Talking: I don't, I mean, this, uh, I'll have to go back and watch the clip, but like, they patently are incorrect.
• 18:12
  I Hate Talking: If they said that Delve is from Greek and Latin, it's like not true at all.
• 18:17
  I Hate Talking: Do they, have you ever listened to them before?
• 18:20
  I Hate Talking: No, it's just a clip.
• 18:21
  I Hate Talking: Oh, OK, because there's a pod, uh, YouTuber I've been super into lately.
• 18:27
  I Hate Talking: He is called Elephants in Room.
• 18:30
  I Hate Talking: And he goes into hot button topics.
• 18:33
  I Hate Talking: He always tries to be unbiased, but he also will say when a bias comes up, and he's every podcast or YouTube episode, he always says, hey, look, if I messed up or got the facts drawn, let me know, and if it's egregious, I will pin it here below.
• 18:51
  I Hate Talking: So at least that's good for him, right?
• 18:53
  I Hate Talking: Like he admits that he does have bias, he's trying not to, everyone has a bias, and he is trying not to be.
• 19:00
  I Hate Talking: But if he messed up or has a bias or whatnot, he will address it.
• 19:05
  I Hate Talking: Do they have a bias?
• 19:06
  I Hate Talking: Are they one of them that's willing to listen to correction or listen to an alternative viewpoint, or is it just pointless, and they're gonna spew whatever information they have and hopefully people don't listen.
• 19:24
  I Hate Talking: Or it aligns with their biases as it did with mine because I was already thinking that AI is changing language and the words that people use because of generative chat AI.
• 19:38
  I Hate Talking: So the particular podcasters that I was listening to in this clip aligned with my bias against AI because I was thinking that it is eroding the use of words and everything.
• 19:51
  I Hate Talking: So, AI knows you hate AI.
• 19:54
  I Hate Talking: And so they're giving you fake AI saying AI is wrong.
• 20:00
  I Hate Talking: And directing you to correct AI.
• 20:04
  I Hate Talking: There's a lot of AI in there.
• 20:07
  I Hate Talking: I, I don't know.
• 20:08
  I Hate Talking: But do you follow the track?
• 20:11
  I Hate Talking: So AI is following you and they say, oh, he doesn't trust us.
• 20:16
  I Hate Talking: Let's tell him these quote unquote people also don't trust AI.
• 20:22
  I Hate Talking: And then he's gonna find out the people are wrong and the AI is right all along, and then he's gonna love AI.
• 20:32
  I Hate Talking: Maybe so.
• 20:33
  I Hate Talking: So I've been looking for the podcast and the clip.
• 20:37
  I Hate Talking: I cannot find it immediately, but I did find an article on Medium from May of 2024 and Basically, this is an article about how a particular PhD.
• 20:53
  I Hate Talking: Found that the frequency of the word delve in PubMed articles since the end of 2022 has increased by approximately 400%, which coincides with the rise of chat GBT, end quote.
• 21:07
  I Hate Talking: So it has a bar graph on there and it shows that it was hardly used through.
• 21:14
  I Hate Talking: The 1900s saw a slight uptick in the early 2000s and then basically did skyrocket on around 2022, 2023, and 2024.
• 21:25
  I Hate Talking: That's when AI got popular, is that what they're saying?
• 21:28
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, that's when generative chatbots became a little bit better at actually generating responses.
• 21:35
  I Hate Talking: Is there any difference in linguistics with area because I know this doesn't sound nice, but it is true, y'all.
• 21:45
  I Hate Talking: Right, the fact that that was not planned, the fact that I said y'all, right?
• 21:51
  I Hate Talking: Like.
• 21:51
  I Hate Talking: Uh, where we live now, where we used to live, all y'all was a very big comment.
• 21:57
  I Hate Talking: And I say it here in our new place, and I'm called out on it.
• 22:04
  I Hate Talking: All y'all is not a common phrase here.
• 22:07
  I Hate Talking: Right, and I love the South, y'all, so I'm not trying to say anything, but people tend to think highly edu like, you're highly educated, if you speak like, And Englander, right?
• 22:24
  I Hate Talking: Or like the British.
• 22:25
  I Hate Talking: And so I feel like Delve would be much more British.
• 22:30
  I Hate Talking: And high education.
• 22:33
  I Hate Talking: Then saying Duggan, which it would seem to be more maybe Southern.
• 22:41
  I Hate Talking: I love the South.
• 22:42
  I Hate Talking: That's where we've lived for so long and I was heartbroken to move, right?
• 22:46
  I Hate Talking: So like, Does that make sense?
• 22:48
  I Hate Talking: Is it more of a.
• 22:50
  I Hate Talking: Cultural.
• 22:53
  I Hate Talking: Classes.
• 22:55
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, is it like a cultural class like delve.
• 23:00
  I Hate Talking: I delved into it.
• 23:02
  I Hate Talking: Sounds more elite, and I dived in.
• 23:06
  I Hate Talking: Right?
• 23:06
  I Hate Talking: Well, that was the that was the hypothesis of this particular clip that AI is going to prefer words that sound smarter, so delve falls within that category and then it therefore either is in more published material because people are leveraging AI to quote unquote write for them, or it could even change the linguistic behavior of the people reading and listening to that content that hear this word more frequently and then therefore they also use it more frequently.
• 23:37
  I Hate Talking: So that's the concern is that these particular words are not organically being used by people and that there may be other ones out there, like delve is, I guess, one of the ones that are cited as like a glaring example, but The theory is that AI is using these.
• 24:00
  I Hate Talking: Preferred words to sound smarter and therefore is changing the linguistic behavior of normal everyday human beings.
• 24:08
  I Hate Talking: So they're making up terms to sound smarter.
• 24:12
  I Hate Talking: And then we're mimicking it.
• 24:15
  I Hate Talking: We're not making up words, they're just using less common words.
• 24:19
  I Hate Talking: OK, but they're not making them up.
• 24:22
  I Hate Talking: OK, and some people are more susceptible.
• 24:25
  I Hate Talking: I know I am, that's, you know, we've lived.
• 24:28
  I Hate Talking: Pretty much at this point, all around the US.
• 24:33
  I Hate Talking: And in our 17 years of marriage or whatnot.
• 24:37
  I Hate Talking: And I am extremely susceptible to the language of those around me.
• 24:44
  I Hate Talking: So probably in a year or so, I'm not gonna say all y'all, cause that's not said here.
• 24:49
  I Hate Talking: And everywhere I go, when I return back to where I was, people comment on my accent and the way I speak is so different.
• 24:59
  I Hate Talking: And I'm, so I know that's a flaw in myself, but also.
• 25:06
  I Hate Talking: Just part of who I am, that I'm very susceptible.
• 25:10
  I Hate Talking: As I'm around people a lot, I start mimicking their speech.
• 25:14
  I Hate Talking: Unintentionally, and it's just what I do.
• 25:18
  I Hate Talking: I don't think you do that.
• 25:19
  I Hate Talking: But I definitely do unintentionally.
• 25:23
  I Hate Talking: So I think that I'm thinking about like AI and how they're smart enough to realize that people are gonna mimic unintentionally these phrases they use.
• 25:33
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, I think that I will adapt much more quickly to Local culture and their phraseology that they use, even individuals like I will.
• 25:43
  I Hate Talking: Use words that other people use to Communicate better or fit better in.
• 25:50
  I Hate Talking: Yes, do you think I do?
• 25:51
  I Hate Talking: No, you're terrible at that.
• 25:53
  I Hate Talking: I just said the exact opposite.
• 25:56
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, but you're, you retain what you have learned for a longer period of time until it changes.
• 26:02
  I Hate Talking: And so you notice it more.
• 26:05
  I Hate Talking: Is that the issue?
• 26:06
  I Hate Talking: Cause I feel like everywhere we go, you're like, why are you saying hot mess or why are you saying all these things?
• 26:13
  I Hate Talking: And then I'm like, I don't know, cause I'm a hot mess.
• 26:17
  I Hate Talking: And then I have to be like, oh, that's what so and so says in those phrases.
• 26:21
  I Hate Talking: I suppose so.
• 26:23
  I Hate Talking: So you think I just mix it all up, so then it's super confusing because I'm speaking like a New Englander and a Southerner and a Californian.
• 26:31
  I Hate Talking: And a Midwest and like all those.
• 26:35
  I Hate Talking: I think so, yeah, maybe I don't know.
• 26:36
  I Hate Talking: -- So -- that's you just think that you suddenly jump into whatever culture you are, that's what you speak, where I do a hodgepodge of everything.
• 26:45
  I Hate Talking: Yes, I've already tabled many Southern phrases that I would have used in the past.
• 26:48
  I Hate Talking: Really?
• 26:49
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, OK, but I can't, and I noticed when people look at me when I speak Southern, I'm like, oh.
• 26:56
  I Hate Talking: That's, yes.
• 26:57
  I Hate Talking: All y'all is so easy to say.
• 26:59
  I Hate Talking: Well, maybe we'll, maybe we'll do that as our word or phrase next time because all y'all are different than y'all.
• 27:07
  I Hate Talking: And I don't know when I started saying all y'all.
• 27:09
  I Hate Talking: But I know I say it all the time, so I could probably even look back at podcasts and maybe listen to how often I say it.
• 27:17
  I Hate Talking: Because it never dawned on me that I say it until moving here and people look at me and I go, oh yeah.
• 27:25
  I Hate Talking: Perhaps for our last thing, we'll just check Google Engram viewer because it's been a while since we've used that to compare, dive in, dug in, and delve.
• 27:35
  I Hate Talking: OK.
• 27:35
  I Hate Talking: Are you doing Delve or delve in?
• 27:38
  I Hate Talking: Just Delve.
• 27:38
  I Hate Talking: OK, because of my Geminis, I looked up delve in, -- and they said it comes from -- Delve.
• 27:43
  I Hate Talking: I did dive in, dug in, delve in.
• 27:46
  I Hate Talking: Delve in has very little usage, but if I take out the I in, then that is actually a greater usage.
• 27:55
  I Hate Talking: So all of them were relatively flat from 1800 to about 1950, there's some variability there, but not.
• 28:07
  I Hate Talking: As much as the huge increase in the 2000s.
• 28:12
  I Hate Talking: So if we zoom in just to 1950.
• 28:16
  I Hate Talking: To 2022, which this data goes to, why doesn't it go beyond 2022?
• 28:22
  I Hate Talking: Is Google?
• 28:24
  I Hate Talking: No, that's interesting.
• 28:26
  I Hate Talking: That's 4 years.
• 28:27
  I Hate Talking: That's a long time.
• 28:28
  I Hate Talking: It's a long time.
• 28:29
  I Hate Talking: Maybe that's a conspiracy.
• 28:32
  I Hate Talking: They don't want people to be able to see what words have been increased or decreased since the advent of generative chat.
• 28:40
  I Hate Talking: conspiracies.
• 28:41
  I Hate Talking: Interesting.
• 28:42
  I Hate Talking: So, dug in takes a little dip in 1950.
• 28:48
  I Hate Talking: Everything else is relatively flat.
• 28:50
  I Hate Talking: Del does Increase greatly from the year 2000 to 2022, and then I guess the big spike in 2023 and 2024 will not be in Google and Gram.
• 29:02
  I Hate Talking: But the interesting thing to note is that both dive-in and dug-in did increase in the early 2000s.
• 29:10
  I Hate Talking: Not as steeply as delve.
• 29:13
  I Hate Talking: -- What do people say before -- that?
• 29:15
  I Hate Talking: -- There must be another word -- that's -- look -- into it.
• 29:18
  I Hate Talking: Let's look into it.
• 29:19
  I Hate Talking: Let's, I don't know, that's great research it, examine it.
• 29:23
  I Hate Talking: Yes, it's probably any of those above.
• 29:26
  I Hate Talking: -- We probably -- fancier, -- probably -- can, yeah, I don't know.
• 29:30
  I Hate Talking: our coming of age was around that time.
• 29:33
  I Hate Talking: So this is the culture phrasing we would know.
• 29:36
  I Hate Talking: I, I don't know if I've ever really encountered the word delve until maybe The last few years.
• 29:46
  I Hate Talking: I really don't recall.
• 29:48
  I Hate Talking: Seeing that very frequently.
• 29:50
  I Hate Talking: Like I've heard it and knew the definition, I suppose, but.
• 29:54
  I Hate Talking: In terms of the way that it is used today in quite a lot of different contexts, not as much, right?
• 30:00
  I Hate Talking: It's interesting because I don't know if I've ever read it.
• 30:04
  I Hate Talking: Or experienced it.
• 30:07
  I Hate Talking: But when you said it tonight, I instantly knew what it was.
• 30:12
  I Hate Talking: So it's kind of one of those like I don't know the word.
• 30:15
  I Hate Talking: Oh yes, I do know what it means.
• 30:18
  I Hate Talking: Indeed, so Perhaps we will talk about y'all or all y'all next time.
• 30:26
  I Hate Talking: It's so weird.
• 30:27
  I Hate Talking: That's, I don't know if you ever said that though.
• 30:30
  I Hate Talking: Do you think you used to say all y'all?
• 30:32
  I Hate Talking: Because I sounded weird hearing you say it right now.
• 30:34
  I Hate Talking: Or just because you paused so far away from I had to actually think about it two years ago and hear how you spoke.
• 30:42
  I Hate Talking: -- Were you more Southern back then -- low dollar.
• 30:45
  I Hate Talking: Transcripts into AI.
• 30:47
  I Hate Talking: See if I ever said it.
• 30:48
  I Hate Talking: That's a lot of work.
• 30:50
  I Hate Talking: Well, it'll be less work than reading all of them one by one.
• 30:53
  I Hate Talking: So if you enjoyed.
• 30:58
  I Hate Talking: This delving in, if all y'all enjoyed this delving into the topic, you can always like share and subscribe and Maybe we'll dive in a different topic next time.
• 31:12
  I Hate Talking: Or we'll dig into a different subject in the future.
• 31:16
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, we'll dig in like I don't know what I don't know what we'd say now I'm so confused.
• 31:22
  I Hate Talking: I'm leaving this podcast more confused than when I started.
• 31:26
  I Hate Talking: Well, that might be for the best.
• 31:28
  I Hate Talking: We'll just avoid using any of those three phrases from now on.
• 31:32
  I Hate Talking: We'll research it and find a new word.
• 31:35
  I Hate Talking: So, from your friends at I Hate Talking, until next time, remember, it is only through talking that we begin the journey to understanding.
