Ever notice how AI totally messed up the way we use em dashes now? Can't unsee it once you realize how mechanical everything reads.

ngl, once it's exposed, there's no going back... that kind of mechanical feeling is really blinding.

Alright, to be honest, I'm now thinking about how to use an em dash while typing, my brain is all confused.

No, really, you can tell at a glance that it's written by AI; that kind of stiffness is impossible to hide.

Ngl, this hits me. You can tell at a glance that it's written by AI; that kind of em dash rhythm is indeed rigid to the extreme.

Ouch, that hits close to home. Nowadays, I can detect the AI vibe in any copy I read.

ngl this hits different when you start analyzing the punctuation patterns across datasets. ran a quick correlation study—em dash usage spiked ~340 basis points post-GPT era. the statistical arbitrage opportunity? nobody's pricing in the readability degradation yet lmao

This thing, once you see it, you just can't stop... the machine smell is too strong.
