    “Our healthcare system isnt broken. Its a business model” If anything the em dash in that second sentence makes it seem more human, because its a double “it’s not this – it’s that”-ism. I don’t care if the text is AI written or not but that style of communicating is not normal – its AI.

      It’s entirely normal. It’s been a common rhetorical device for centuries. It may be more common now due to AI, but language is memetic and people adopt popular styles. It’s impossible to say whether this is AI or not.

      To be clear, I am more anti-AI than most people, but AI-hunts like this are only a waste of time. And frankly, they only distract from the message, which in this case is more worthy of discussion than whether or not the messenger used AI to compose his message.

        I hate that everyone thinks an em dash is the mark of the beast. I’ve been using it for as long as I can remember, but people at work will give me shit saying that I am using an AI to respond.
