Will the prevailance of AI slop make people deliberately avoid sounding like an LLM and thus less like a redditor? Or will the tide of AI slop train us to think redditor speak is normal?

Back in the very early 2020’s my history teacher used a very early AI plagiarism detection tool for a massive project thing we had. (I fucking hate those “keystone” project things.)
Especially for irritating research essay projects, I write in a very bland uninspired “and then this happened” sort of way.
Now the rule of statistics means none of us are special. There’s someone out there that’s very similar personally wise to you, or at the very least writes school research essay projects in a very similar “I really hate this, I just need to get it over with” type manner.
Sure enough, it matched my ADHD slop with someone else’s ADHD slop.
Oh and as insult to injury, it flagged my citations as plagiarized. That’s like getting a program patent for a bump heap allocator issued, or yelling at someone for answering “4” to “2+2=”.
I passed the project, but I can only in-vision sometime in the future where everyone before you drafted every other valid grade passing combination before you so now whatever you write gets flagged for plagiarism because someone 1000 miles away from you drafted the same essay 13 years ago.
Basically the whole “monkeys on typewriters shakespeare” thing, except even worse as the “monkeys” are literate humans following conditions that must be satisfied.
The size of combinations is much smaller and thus gets exhausted much quicker.
