Why have people adopted ChatGPt lingo.

No LLM here, just a habit from academic writing. The reason the tobacco analogy works for me is that both cases optimize around reinforcement, not outcomes.
Because lots of people use it a lot, they subconsciously pick up on the language that surrounds them I.e. ai language
Actually, sounds like it’s written entirely by an LLM, and so do their other comments
If well-formed sentences now read as LLM output, that’s unfortunate. If you disagree with the point(s) I’m happy to discuss that instead.
