The past 18 months have seen the most rapid change in human written communication ever

All this really does is show areas where the writing requirements are already bullshit and should be fixed.

Like, consumer financial complaints. People feel they have to use LLMs because when they write in using plain language they feel they're ignored, and they're probably right. It suggests that these financial companies are under regulated and overly powerful. If they weren't, they wouldn't be able to ignore complaints when they're not written in lawyerly language.

Press releases: we already know they're bullshit. No surprise that now they're using LLMs to generate them. These shouldn't exist at all. If you have something to say, don't say it in a stilted press-release way. Don't invent quotes from the CEO. If something is genuinely good and exciting news, make a blog post about it by someone who actually understands it and can communicate their excitement.

Job postings. Another bullshit piece of writing. An honest job posting would probably be something like: "Our sysadmin needs help because he's overworked, he says some of the key skills he'd need in a helper are X, Y and Z. But, even if you don't have those skills, you might be useful in other ways. It's a stressful job, and it doesn't pay that well, but it's steady work. Please don't apply if you're fresh out of school and don't have any hands-on experience." Instead, job postings have evolved into some weird cargo-culted style of writing involving stupid phrases like "the ideal candidate will..." and lies about something being a "fast paced environment" rather than simply "disorganized and stressful". You already basically need a "secret decoder ring" to understand a job posting, so yeah, why not just feed a realistic job posting to an LLM and make it come up with some bullshit.
