"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I use emdashes, sparingly, in my own writing. Hooray, now people mistrust me for doing that.
It honestly sucks that some interesting structures are basically flags against the writer now. I personally love the rule of three, the Oxford comma, the semicolon to hang a dependent clause, and yes, even the now fucking pervasive em-dash. It's just one more thing that LLMs have ruined for us.
I'm not saying using any Emdash at all is a surefire tell that stuff is written by AI. but the Way the article opens, it's a juxtaposition of key signs of AI writing.
As they should.
