A facebook group in which I am a small lurker regularly includes screenshots of passages in which the character lets out a breath they had not realized they were holding. It is such a common cliche that readers find them often, sometimes twice within the same novel. I feel sorry for the young person being sued, but alas, bad writing is not the purview of AI alone. And now, pardon me, while I exhale.

I was utterly baffled reading that post - almost as baffled as when I learned that em dashes are apparently a sign of AI(???). Are these conclusions about AI a feature of people not reading, not writing, not being properly taught, or all of the above?

If they come for the oxford comma I give up.
