Let's make one thing clear:

If you don't believe in trans rights,
If you aren't against genocide,
if you aren't against AI in art or used as a creative tool,
if you don't believe that governments should finally react to the climate change properly,

then this isn't the right place for you.
And what are we still allowed to use, if we avoid everything that AI has stollen from our artists? Should we deliver white pages?
WE WERE THERE FIRST.

LLMs only have em-dashes because *actual living writers* have used them for 100+ years.

LLMs use them because *we used them first* and they stole them *to sound like real writers.*

SCREW THE WRITING MACHINE! Read REAL writers. And reject the machine that steals from them!
I am annoyed by those who claim I and other writers should avoid using emdashes because generative AI has co-opted them.

They serve a purpose, along with the semi-colon and colon. They allow for cadence changes and variety in punctuation.

I will not bow to our AI writing overlords — not ever.
