The boredom trap: How LLMs are draining entropy from the way we communicate

2025-11-21

Abstract excerpt

<p>Large Language Models (LLMs) are optimized towards minimizing linguistic entropy. Low-entropy environments reliably evoke boredom and diminish cognitive engagement. In turn, widespread proliferation of LLM-generated outputs could impair how humans learn, process information, and participate in public discourse.</p>
