# How to spot [[AI]]
- the em dash (--)
- Sentence structure "it isn't just about x, it's also about y"
- grouping lists, points, etc. in groups of 3 (or odd numbers in general)
- starting line breaks with emojis
- use of vague positive adjectives and jargon
- exaggerated and empty praise
- strange analogies and simileies 
- constantly restating itself, clarifying points too many times, and providing unnecessary context
