  Scare tactics definitely play a part of it but, having seen official documentation covering up to reasonably recently (can say no more, sorry), I can confirm the technology did continue to evolve and detection was possible and the vans are real. I’m sure it’s continued to evolve since those old docs too, and I can’t say it was ever particularly effective, but there was some clever stuff at play from what I read!

  Of course it’s all in aid of a horribly outdated principle, and I don’t approve of the scare tactics or intimidating nonsense letters, but I can appreciate some clever tech and documentation :)

  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!

  Exactly the same - I was very interested in the premise but struggled to make it past this section, too, for the same reasons you’ve mentioned. Would certainly agree that these clips should’ve been used more sparingly, as it’s a bit of a slog otherwise.
