The entire article is fascinating! Particularly if you're interested in the gradual demise of Langdellian formalism and the initial emergence of realists such as Holmes, Frank, Llewellyn, Pound, Cohen, and the like.

It's truly something to behold. And this passage below really drives home your point. The Harvard Law faculty threatened to boycott Chicago for daring to teach Con Law!

I often return to this amusing anecdote from Thomas Grey. Amid the heyday of formalism, the Harvard faculty threatened to withhold support for the University of Chicago's fledgling law school because Chicago planned to offer courses on "unscientific" public law topics like . . . Constitutional Law.

That’s the general sentiment. At least, AI seems to use em-dashes much more frequently than the general public, so the association’s stuck quickly.
It’s unfortunate, too, because I have yet to see an AI produce anything close to expert-level academic writing. But em-dashes still have the stigma.

Ha! Fortunately, it’s incredibly easy. I used Suno.com. Once you have a general sense of the song you want to make (lyrics, genre, tempo, etc), it gives you an amazing output. No vocal ability required, thank goodness.

Yep, I also found it to be a particularly noticeable issue. I had a T20 offer in early February, and only one journal responded to my expedite. I totally sympathize with journals having to juggle a million items at once, but I hope ghosting doesn't become (more of) a norm.
