hate how it all has the same tone now

came to say this. it's the AI writing cadence, I can smell it from 1000ft: - Lots of "The" headings - Always "why it matters" - Machine gun style cadence of short sentences

I hate that AI has stolen my emdashes and I can't use them without looking like slop. But I will die defending markdown as my preferred note taking format. They're not taking that away from me.

Em dashes aren’t stolen, it’s still clear from the overall voice of the text if it’s AI written or not. At least, in reasonably long sections of text. I find it can be hard to tell one way or the other in shorter texts (like comments)

Just on HN alone I think I've seen roughly 3948538902748750897520938 mentions of emdashes when others were complaining about slop in the past 2 months. It might as well be the unofficial slop logo. Folks are treating it like a dead giveaway. I feel like a school friend of mine has been taken from me.
