I wonder if an LLM generated article would get the title to use proper English, though: "What if Python were natively distributable?".

It's possible LLMs pick up improper English, of course, since proper is some measure of what used to be a norm, but may presently be perceived as outdated.

Is it possible it's both?

evidently what becomes standard gradually changes. i believe you can see this in construction of the past tense (perfect tense) of verbs in Polish/etc vs Russian, where Russian just uses the grammatical past participle as if it were the simple past tense.

Speakers of English in the Americas make this same substitution, which sounds like a mistake to those who speak in the version of English taught in schools. They will say "i seen that" rather than "i saw that", for example, just as would happen in Russian.

I have a feeling people will begin to purposely use slightly incorrect grammar to give the impression they are indeed human in their writing.

definitely: look at groups choosing their own deviations to signal group membership. american slang groups for instance, including teen kids purposefully using jargon they redefine among themselves so parents are un-cool.
