I think there is a more obvious influence on “formal” communication: Google’s smart compose and smart reply.
Students writing papers now increasingly use Google Docs as Google pushes into the education space, and Google workspace has 9 million paying orgs. It seems possible that being consistently exposed to the same models/suggestions in school and then work (the main “formal” contexts for most) could have a drastic impact on professional communication.
I’d be interested to see someone study an organization’s language before and after adopting Google’s products to see what, if any, influence it has.
