Rereading it, there is a good chance I'm the asshole here, but the basic reasons were a paragraph, followed by bullet points, followed by a paragraph. That's a very common format for ChatGTP. As well, the use of emdashes in general, specifically where most people would use a comma. What really leads me to think I might be the asshole here is his use of "But" to start a sentence. It's pretty common in informal righting, but really uncommon in the type of formal writing that ChatGPT loves to produce.

Bullet points are trivial in markdown - simply start a line with a dash and a space, although you can bugger up things by not leaving blank lines before and after.

I also do use em-dashes — because I can. I use wincompose to give me the linux compose key under windows. Although I will sometimes intentionally remove em-dashes from my writing precisely because of this assumption it causes.

I also have severe ADHD, and while sometimes I just write freeform and beware to the poor reader, sometimes I have an LLM tighten up the writing so the neurotypicals aren't scared or confused by my rambling.

But even in such cases, I write everything first.

I believe in that particular instance, I might have copy/pasted the last bullet point from somewhere, but I wrote everything else and that is not through an LLM.

Everyone has different skills, and writing is one I'm not totally afraid to say is a moderate talent of mine. Sometimes.

Replying to your comment because it felt more natural, but it's to the conversation in general. :)
