Comment on Evidence That Humans Now Speak in a Chatbot-Influenced Dialect Is Getting Stronger

The worst part - through human communication, texts on the internet, etc. - it seems to propagate towards people who don’t even use AI.
I myself have strong aversion to it, but found myself using much more bullet points, cliché constructions, and yes - even em-dashes - when I don’t actively pay attention to how I write.
I’ve always been sensitive to language around me, naturally adapting to the environment around - and now it backfires.

As someone who has used dashes for decades, this recent trend bothers me.

My huge ADHD sentences love the dash action, but with AI using it now people think I use it to write.

I see the point being made; however, how the fuck else might I jam several clauses into one compound megasentence - overwrought and peppered with purple prose - if not with multiple types of punctuation? Should I summarize, streamline? Clearly not: all thoughts should be expressed in their fully glory, replete with irrelevant details. Perhaps remove unneeded, intra-sentence explanations (like this one) of details obvious to the reader?! Never!
No AI could write with matching convolution — especially when, unlike me, it cannot do so on the toilet.

Your eloquence strikes me as unnecessary but beautiful - truly, it is in human nature to overcomplicate, but in such a special way that makes it unique and almost spiritual instead of verbose and obtuse. I compliment your decisiveness and ability - a distinctively human ability - to see through this thin line and turn your toilet habit into something so profound. Yet, I cannot help but note that taking out the phone while unloading your bowel - or bladder, for that matter - is yet another symptom - a very alarming symptom - of the modern age interfering with our ability to distance ourselves from a neverending steam of distractions, one that comes hand in hand with modern AI-powered enshittification. So, if you’d like to truly reconnect with your roots, to find human in yourself - perhaps it might be bright to create an intimate space where the only connection you experience is a connection with yourself.
Perhaps, I couldn’t express myself as vividly as you do; for that I apologize; yet, I’m not even operating in the domain of my mother tongue, so I hope I can be forgiven. Besides, one other distinctively human thing is to try regadless.
