I tend to get accused of sounding like I'm #AI
I'm tempted to embrace that sentiment and begin using the dreaded —em dash—
But probably improperly because I'm a #SociophilosophyNerd and not #GrammarNerd
I respect language only where it suits my ability to make a point, not for its #Pseudoscience

I think critiques of and "how to spot" AI writing are only going to make things worse
