alt Hacker News>I suspect, as we continue forward, humans will slowly start to adopt the language of LLMs
I'm already seeing it. A coworker said something like "<person> added the color to the ticket here" meaning that someone added details to a ticket.
I've started seeing Opus 5 talk about "hermetic testing" when it just means "unit testing", so I hope that doesn't catch on...

The idiom "added color to" as an expression of adding detail or nuance to something goes back much further than the AI era. I've certainly used it at various times in my career spanning 4 decades now.

I’ve been using that idiom since 2010.
One of my coworkers uses “load-bearing” ironically constantly now, it’s very funny
