I use LLMs to get answers to queries but I avoid having conversations with them because I'm aware we pick up idiosyncrasies and colloquialisms from everyone we interact with. People who spend all day talking to thier GPT-voice will adjust their speaking style to be more similar to the bot.

I developed this paranoia upon learning about The Ape and the Child where they raised a chimp alongside a baby boy and found the human adapted to chimp behavior faster than the chimp adapted to human behavior. I fear the same with bots, we'll become more like them faster than they'll become like us.
