I have an internal grrrr each time I think of a headline or sentence in my writing that uses phrases that really do describe what I want to say, but they have been over used by AI generated text. Like, stop making me look clickbaity already!
The slop is forcing me to be more inventive, creative, and human with word choices so that's one good thing to come from it.
Em dashes now — those I will use whenever the punctuation I feel like it; judge away, I don't care!
