Ultimately, culture will be defined by a strange sort of radical authenticity defined by ever more subtle and specific signals of genuine humanity.

Sophisticated cants will emerge that are structurally challenging for computers to emulate.

And because there's a lot of work going into preventing AI from computing anything racist, sexist, or offensive to HR, the new ways of communicating will likely gravitate towards those spaces -- but ironically.

Interesting idea.

Reflecting on it, people already use what would otherwise be unacceptable slurs with their closest friends (at least IME in the UK). Using this as a human-computer differentiator is intriguing. Kinda like if non-humans were really incapable of purposeful harm to humans you could get someone to pinch you to show they're not a bot... CAPTCHA of the future!

I suspect this happens everywhere. For a hilarious send up of this, see "Gran Torino".

I'm no historian or linguist, but there has to be a historical parallel here, right? Some empire somewhere banning some words or disparagement of the queen and so the rabble makes up some words or phrase to mean the same things. A cycle of banning then kicks off and suddenly sausages over 4 fingers long mean that the king is a doofus or some other such strange thing.
