Certainly AI editorialised. I wonder if this is because English isn’t their first language, and they are confidence compensating. I’ve worked with a lot of folks also from Philippines and the Tagalog/English mix leads to some confidence challenges sometimes.

Two human editors. I'm one of them and I absolutely do not use AI tools when I edit.

If you're going off the use of emdashes and endashes, I've been using them for over 25 years.
