"… humans would not exist without flowering plants. We're primates and the first primates evolved to climb up trees and eat fruits and eat the insects that are feeding on flowering plants. … more recently, our hominid ancestors came out of the forest. We came down from the trees into the savannas and grasslands. And grasslands are habitats built entirely by flowering plants. … There's a second way in which we're a floral species…"

' “Even if people are not the firsthand users of LLMs, LLMs are still going to affect them indirectly,” says Sourati. “If a lot of people around me are thinking and speaking in a certain way, and I do things differently, I would feel a pressure to align with them because it would seem like a more credible or socially acceptable way of expressing my ideas.” '
