Good and bad. Just like having language standards.
Bad - it’s already been said why.
Good - because uniformity does help understanding each other, and because conversational interfaces are more efficient and less error-prone with less diversity.

So much confusion could be avoided if people didn’t use the same words to mean different things.

It’s literally the worst.

Well, say, in VAEs confusion is one of the reasons it even works. I mean, it’s the mathematical confusion and not what we mean in language, but there might be a parallel.
