This publisher copy is neither pedantic nor wordy. It is just a market blurb for the book.

The thing that frustrates me the most about AI is how every thread in every forum spend half the time arguing whether an article is AI or not, as if bad writing only started to exist with AI. Just fucking don't read it.

It does not even have to be slop, the compulsion to call out AI-involvement in writing is out of control, esp. on HN.

Em-dashes as the signal is the most-upsetting for me. I have been using them properly and frequently for decades.

Slop is slop. If it is AI-slop then fine, go ahead and call it out.
