I believe that in a couple of years, people will start looking at writings (any writing) in a very different way than they do now. Apart from the fact that spelling or grammatical mistakes will join history, people will take anything written on a much less serious or personal note. Although the less personal aspect is gratifying, the less serious tone is a huge negative. Writers will move to a new level of writing skills in order to keep relevant and retain their audience. Puns, teasing, and unorthodox expressions will flood the internet. Writing styles will become trademarks! Language itself, especially English, will be much more standardized, as if it's a programming code. The bad will get badder and the good will be gooder.

I don't think that's really what's going to happen... People stuffing puns in just to convince you it's human written just sounds silly. Not to mention you can ask GPT to do that too lol

What's going to happen is that branding will get more and more important. People simply won't trust anything from random sources anymore like they do now when they search on Google and treat the top pages as the truth

They will get most of their info from trusted sources/brands and filter out the rest

There was a time a beautiful hand writing was an incredible asset as a person, you'd be writing letters and invitations, and people would look at your script and assert your personality from it. Companies would pass resumes through a mentalist looking mostly at your hand writing.

And all of that just went down the drain with the digital world, but we still have people enjoying beautiful writing for the sake of it. Pen and paper addicts still abound.

I see stylistic forms analysis going the same route. Nowadays we pay attention to it in many settings, but down the line it should become a niche hobby for people really enjoying it.

I think the opposite will happen. People's tolerance of fluff will go to zero, whether it's AI- or human-generated. People will demand straight facts, without any linguistic embellishments. Just pure information, simple.wikipedia.org style.
