Lately I have seem some Reddit posts with bullet points. I know it's a Power Point cliche, but that style almost never showed up on Reddit until about a year ago. I think a lot of those posts are AI-generated.
For a while I worked on defects for a web app at a large corporation. Users would submit walls of text, with a lot of unneeded details. A lot of people need help organizing their thoughts.

Eventually, but at least for something like "ain't" the hill to climb to get there will probably be a lot higher, because you've got decades if not centuries of explicit discouragement and very little presence in existing formal writing (and maybe online writing period).
The more durable proof of humanity will probably be hyper rapid slang evolution, but that's going to have the downside of social fragmentation and making the past less legible. If slang changes rapidly over the course of a year, will anyone still remember the slang from 10 years ago to understand an old post?
One thing I have yet to see on the mainstream AI platforms is a combination of foul language, dirty jokes, rule34 and racial slurs. 4chan-GPT and local LLM's excluded. Perhaps require Rule34 and foul language as proof. There's probably a way to jailbreak that for a little bit but it would get patched.
In 2000, NationsBank in Charlotte bought Bank of America. They used the BofA name, but the NB people ran things. Hugh McColl had been the CEO of NB for years, and he was CEO of BofA for a year. The next CEO, Ken Lewis, was also from NB. I worked for BofA in Chicago from 2001 to 2009. I talked to people in Charlotte all the time. I almost never talked to people in California.
Now that I think about it, I dealt with people in a lot of regions of the US, but almost nobody on the West Coast.
"Bank of America, Los Angeles, was founded in California in 1923. In 1928, this entity was acquired by the Bank of Italy of San Francisco, which took the Bank of America name two years later"
