    The phrasing and pacing sound repeatedly “but wait there’s more” style that AI seems to favor. Always trying to re-emphasize a point already made to make the reader interpret it a specific way.

    Not to mention the em-dashes.

    Sometimes good writing sounds like that too, but good writers also know to not use and repeat that same style over every paragraph.
