"And thats on us"
At least they removed all the em dashes
Why does everyone seem to regard the em dash as an instant LLM-indicator? Many real people—me included—use them regularly. Yes, LLMs use them—perhaps too much—but many so-called "AI-tells" come from training data—real text written by real people.
You answered yourself, LLMs use them too much.
