You're not the first writer I've seen mention this, about em dashes, etc. I think it was Chuck Wendig had an essay on that explaining that reason the #AISlop machine used those elements that are flagged is because the #sloperator stole them from writers like him and you. *sigh*

Adults Lose Skills to AI. Children Never Build Them. Discussions of cognitive offloading often miss a critical distinction: What AI does to a 45-year-old's brain is categorically different from what it does to a 14-year-old's.

**TL;DR** YouTube video player screenshot with a cluttered, overlapping control bar UI, showing playback and settings icons jumbled together over a dimly lit video. **Description** A screenshot of a YouTube video player taken from a mobile or desktop browser. The video content behind the controls appears to show a dark electronic device — possibly a gaming console or router — lit with blue light on the left and warm amber/orange light on the right. The overall scene is dim and moody. Overlaid on the video is a yellow/gold horizontal progress bar running across the lower third of the frame. Below it, a row of player control icons appears in a disorganized cluster, seemingly misaligned or incorrectly rendered. Icons include a thumbs up, a share/redirect arrow, a monitor/screen icon, a forward-skip arrow, a pause button, a closed captions (CC) button, a gear/settings icon, and a resize/exit-fullscreen icon. A "Skip" button with a skip-forward icon appears in the upper right corner of the player overlay. The layout feels broken — icons are unevenly spaced and stacked awkwardly, suggesting a UI rendering bug or experimental redesign. **Text** Skip CC 1 2 3 S (triangle up and down symbols visible on the device in the video background)

‘AI-Sexual’ Couples Are Having Threesomes With Chatbots I apologize in advance, but there’s a new phrase that’s been floating around out there to describe sexuality. “AI-sexual” is the latest one.
