After ChatGPT was introduced to Parliament, MPs suddenly started using phrasing that was previously only common in the US.

They literally don't bother thinking about the words coming out of their mouths *in real time*.

And it's very likely that AI has been caught smuggling cultural practices into places they don't belong. In the British Parliament, for instance, transcripts show that MPs have suddenly started opening their speeches with the phrase "I rise to speak". On a single day this June, it happened 26 times. "I rise to speak in support of the amendment." "I rise to speak against Clause 10." Which would be fine, if not for the fact tat this is not someting British parliamentarians said very much previously. Among *American* lawmakers, however, beginning a speech this way is standard practice. AIs are not always so sensitive to these cultural differences.
