My favourite example:

The en-dash – used for interjections, among other things – has been a staple of prose for a long time. Equally, it has been used in corporate communications attempting to sound formal and educated – often wrong, to the point that I myself amn't sure any more whether I'm using it right at any given moment, or how it is different to the em-dash — even longer, yet less popular because MS Office doesn't automatically replace a - between words with it.

Is it any wonder, then, that machines trained both on prose and corporate slop produce a soup of words interspersed with en-dashes – whether they make sense or not?

So when I use it, because I got used to it before the machines appropriated it, and people take it as indicator that my slop is artificial, I always get a little sad. I'm not concerned about AI taking my job, but I do worry that it may be taking my hobby:

Writing long, rambling comments of questionable quality on social media.
