SummaryAnalysis of 14,262 CHI conference papers from 1982 to 2026 finds that the public release of LLMs did not homogenize academic writing; vocabulary grew more varied, reading ease declined since 2022, and word-level shifts predated LLMs but accelerated after their release.
Why it mattersLarge corpus study empirically contradicting the popular claim that LLMs flatten scholarly prose, useful context for anyone interpreting writing changes in their own field.
