LOL. When analysts starting saying they were a dead giveaway of AI content, I thought there had to better clues than that--and it turns out there are, as noted in the controversy around the Commonwealth fiction winners. I wonder how literate those analysts are, how deeply read they are in prose and fiction going back decades.
In contrast to AI coughing up whatever--it is *not* thinking. I highly recommend her essay, which I've read twice and shared with family and friends. People are letting AI "think" for them, weakening their cognitive skills. Years ago, it seems, The Shallows (which I've also read twice) showed how the Internet was rewiring our brains and AI use seems to take that to an entirely new level.
Nobody will ever take my em dashes.

I'm right there with you, Terry. The em dash--such an effective grammatical tool--will be my friend forever.
And the crowd roars!
Of course writing is thinking!
