Love it, Matt! I have to ask - did you sprinkle in the spelling mistakes to prove that you, a human, wrote this? Clever

Haha maybe the last one. The rest are a result of writing it in a frenzy a few hours ago because I can't sleep and can't spell. 😀

I fracking love em-dashes, and need to use 'em in my work. I love that the tide is turning against LLM, in that people currently use em-dashes to help red-flag their soulless enshittification of the internet, because the coders who feed the datasets of LLM will very soon remove em-dashes from LLMs, and I can go back to using them without prejudice.

Fuck, I hope.

This was a great read, but! Cataclysmically awful examples - thank you for reading 'How a Formula 1 Race Car Works What Makes It the Fastest-Car Machine in the World?: Engineering, Science, and Innovation Behind Building the Ultimate Racing Vehicle' so we don't have to.

'Soulless enshittification' is such a great term. Funnily enough I am craving using the em-dash now. It seems so useful. It took Ai's over use to make me realise how much I like. I too look forward to LLMs abandoning it in shame so we humans can reclaim it.

Yes its AI orientated and AI paid pro version confirms that ! (Hahah)....and more and more Kindle material is AI associated so throw it away. Now go back to sleep.
