How cheap, outsourced labour in Africa is shaping AI English

TechScape examines the emergence of 'AI-ese,' a linguistic style stemming from chatbots trained by outsourced African labour. This has implications for how AI and regional linguistic traits interact. New AI gadgets, such as a standalone hardware portal and AI pendants, are gearing up to integrate AI more seamlessly into our lives, despite concerns around their efficacy and impact.

• AI-ese emerges from AI's use of outsourced labour for linguistic training.
• 'Delve' overusage in AI responses linked to its African training data.
• African English risks being labeled as robotic due to AI training influences.
• New AI gadgets aim to integrate AI into daily tasks efficiently.
• The AI hardware market faces challenges with effectiveness and acceptance.
