    With the em dashes and the conclusion "This was not called execution. It was called retirement." I expect a lot of people would believe today that these title cards were written by an LLM.

      You tell an AI it’s an AI. It looks in its training set for examples and finds Blade Runner (and scifi books).

      Maybe that’s the origin of its use of em dashes.

      It “feels” that’s what an AI should use, it is told it is an AI, therefore it should use them, thus does.
