From quills to prompts

When people first learned to read and write, they often wrote in fancy, complicated ways with plenty of extra words.

As more people became literate over time, writing styles changed.

People started to value writing that was clear and to the point instead.

Is it possible that we will face similar changes with Generative AI and LLMs?

At first people might show off by generating massive amounts.

Then we might shift to valuing brevity while maintaining the same meaning.

Eventually we could reach a point where writing adapts in ways that blur the line between human and AI-assisted text.
