The best part is that this article is almost certainly AI-generated or heavily AI-assisted too.
Before people get angry with me... there's plenty of small tells, starting with section headings, a lot of linguistic choices, and low information density... but more importantly, the author openly says she writes using LLMs: https://www.sh-reya.com/blog/ai-writing/#how-i-write-with-ll...
Just skimming throught the first two paragraphs felt like I as reading a ChatGPT response. That and the fact that there's multiple em dashes in the intro alone.
Tangentially related, but I'm low key miffed that em dashes get a bad rep now because of AI.
They're a great way to "inject" something into a sentence, similar to how people speak in person. I feel like my written style has now gotten worse because I have to dumb it down, or I'll be anxious any writing/linguistic flourish will be interpreted as gen AI
i'll never give up the em dash. and i will continue to evangelize the en dash from now–forever (hint hint, ranges should use en dashes instead of hyphens).
I'm doubling down on emdashes. May even start using language-appropriate quotes too („aaa“ «bbb» 「ccc」and so on). This meme about surface-level LLM tells is actively dangerous.
