Find it interesting that the section about LLM’s tells when using it for writing is absolutely littered with emdashes

There was a comment recently by HN's most enthusiastic LLM cheerleader, Simon Willison, that I stopped reading almost immediately (before seeing who posted it), because it exuded the slop stench of an LLM: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46011877

However, I was surprised to see that when someone (not me) accused him of using an LLM to write his comment, he flatly denied it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46011964

Which I guess means (assuming he isn't lying) if you spend too much time interacting with LLMs, you eventually resemble one.

I don't know what to tell you: that really does not read like it was written by a LLM. You were perhaps set off by the very first sentence, which sounds like it was responding to a prompt?
