This reads like the author attempted to prompt an AI not to write like an AI. Normally, I do not care if a blog post is AI written, but in this case I could not follow the result
i had the exact same takeaway. The sentences dont work without em dashes—they're in fact, unreadable (like if you swapped out the em dash in this sentence with a period). It's extra obvious once you look at OP's blog post history. Earlier ones are riddled with em dashes. Now there's not a single one to be seen.
