The underlying problem is trust: - existing lack of trust in online content - increasing skepticism in online content The jump to use the em dash as "proof" of AI writing is a byproduct of people wanting, needing an easy signal to determine the value of content.
Your AI content is showing. You know that feeling when someone suddenly drops 40 pounds? You’re not sure if it was discipline or Ozempic. That’s what AI writing feels like. It looks fine on the surface. But something’s just...off.
Yeah, but AI writing will be like AI artwork. Slightly overwrought, a bit too slick, and very reminiscent of a velvet painting. Sure, people bought them. But man, they were ugly to many of us.
Every action you take is practice. Practice builds habits. Habits turn to a lifestyle. The hours of passivity lead to a lifestyle of inertia, scrolling and scrolling at the mobile slot machine.
The most common mental health symptom I see in my patients is behavioral frozenness. You want to do something that you clearly have the capacity to do, and instead you stare at pointless screen content you're incapable of shutting off, or otherwise waste time, indefinitely.

How widespread is AI writing right now? Search X for "it's not just." Scroll through so many posts using the phrase. Below, a screencap of the last 2 minutes. The pattern is a version of the contrastive structure "It's not X. It's Y" used by generative AI, caught by @UnAIify.
Extrapolation from a prompt becomes overdetermined to the prompt, making it summarizable. Works for many nonfiction NYT bestsellers, too.
AI has kind of ruined how I read stuff online. Now when I see a typo I’m like, nice, this wasn’t written by AI.
