The first time I witnessed literary trends change was with the advent of online roleplay and other forms of open-entry writing forums online way back in the early days of the internet. I saw the same inflictions and tones and narrative style creep into every facet of writing and culture.
It happened again with the rise of smartphones and texting and the unique mannerisms that go with the medium, then twitter just accelerated it.
Now it’s “AI style” and whether or not it’s really AI writing it, billions of people are growing up in a world where “this is just what writings looks like” and it’s going to be everywhere.
Welcome to the rot of our future.
