What's wrong with that?

Wait, are regular dashes not em-dashes now considered a sign of AI slop? I've been using dashes since forever.

~The comment you're replying to doesn't have any sentence of the form "X isn't Y, it's Z". It has "It's not X - it's Y".~ I see it now - it does have one "X isn't Y, it's Z" but that's hardly conclusive IMO.

While the comment does have "X but Y", it has a consistent mistake in punctuation - "X, but Y" would be the correct form, won't it? If an LLM produced this, I wouldn't expect the missing punctuation.

How does "fixing the symptom instead of the root cause" not make sense in the context of this discussion which is about coding agents producing marginal PRs.

You’re being too paranoid
