What do you think about TFA and its contention that perfectly normal language is being targeted by the AI witch-hunt?

I personally avoid the em dash, but it has been used in writing for a long, long time.

> perfectly normal language

Define "normal language?"

In this instance, language which would have passed a style guide and an editor in 2020 but reads as AI in 2026.

Frankly, when humans produce empty reasoning like sentences with little reason behind them, we should be allowed to call it a slop too.

What about when they produce correct reasoning and express it with language that has superficial similarities to LLM output?
