AI is going to kill app subscriptions

It's not that hard to find out. Copy paste the text into any AI detector online. I pasted it into Grammarly and it says it's AI content with a 99% accuracy.

Easiest way, however - any article that uses em dashes instead of regular hyphens is most likely AI. Normal bloggers, particularly in casual tech circles don't use em dashes. When was the last time you ever used an em dash? Me? Never.

The use of the word "any" here only emphasizes that this advice is not very valuable.

I use them when appropriate, and have for long before LLMs were using them. I'm not going to stop now.

I stopped using em dashes - because of LLMs. And it's a bullshit way too: everyone has heard about it and it's easy to make the LLM output something else than em dashes.

Pray how do those "ai detectors" work? I trust those even less than I trust ai: AI detectors use simple heuristics and take advantage of your gullibility.
