I agree that it hasn't been going on long enough to be considered a tradition yet, but I think over time it may develop into one

almost out of necessity

because there is no alternative with a functionally illiterate populace. (Besides the seemingly obvious one of educating people back into literacy.)

In the same article, they speculated that LLMs may be the revenge of the written word and may lead to a change. But having to work with LLMs

practically by force

I see it differently.

LLMs allow people routes around reading and writing. They aid illiteracy. They summarize and elaborate almost like a lossy compression or decompression algorithm for the written word. They allow you to take a single sentence and pretend that there was more thought behind it than there truly was, and they digest written language and produce things that allow you to be more comfortably illiterate. Functionally, they're a hack to allow orally oriented people to pretend that they're more literate than they are.
