    I don’t see the point of letting an LLM generate an article when the topic is your personal, subjective experience which only you, a human, would be able to express.

      So anything that has em dashes is now considered LLM generated? What made you think this is generated?

        It's unfortunate, but to come across as genuine now I think you have to actively avoid AI-isms.

        In this case it feels AI generated with human polish, or vice versa. A couple tells are "One caveat worth stating up front..." and of course, "...the shape of the language itself...".

          I actually think this might be a good thing? I'm way more aware of cliches and filler in my writing these days, and it almost always reads better when I just remove them and plainly say the thing.
