While the idea behind AI was that it would automate manual tasks and help workers focus on more value-added activities, some workers fear it will outright replace them — and that’s already happening

I use the em dash constantly, and have done for years, so finding out it's a big "this was written by AI" indicator makes me sad — I'm not an AI user, I just like the way it looks!
