I’ve always loved em dashes…very sad they’re a hallmark of LLM slop now. That and trios in arguments. Maybe I’m part LLM?

This isn’t just em-dashes—it's the empty phrase that includes both whatever the contrastive construction is called and an “Honestly”. It might have been human written but the density of LLM flags is undeniable.

Some of us been writing texts on the public internet for decades, and humans invented machines trained on our texts, so suddenly the text we write now sounds like robots? Only way to win is to stop caring, let the people believe you're a LLM if so be it.
