"Recent large-scale upticks in the use of words like “delve” and “intricate” in certain fields, especially education and academic writing, are attributed to the widespread introduction of LLMs with a chat function, like ChatGPT, that overuses those buzzwords."

OK, but please don't do what pg did a year or so ago and dismiss anyone who wrote "delve" as AI writing. I've been using "delve" in speech for 15+ years. It's just a question where and how one learns their English.

Same thing as with em dashes. Some of us have been using em dashes from before ChatGPT.

Unfortunately the em dash has already been relegated to the dungeon of AI suspicion for the next 5-10 years.

It's not a suspicion in an also otherwise properly typeset PDF, but it's a suspicion in a YouTube comment or other informal context for sure.

I have used "--" since forever, here, on reddit, in emails, etc (I'm too lazy to type a proper em dash).

Hope AI didn't ruin this for me!
