The articles on this blog before 2025 never contained em-dashes. Not even a single one. And the articles from 2025 onward all use em-dashes. Curious, huh? >

Curious, huh? > Each operates at a different mathematical order: linear, exponential, and systematic respectively. This was where I stop reading. "Systematic" mathematical order. Sure.

  I know I shouldn't care at all. However I can't help but feel a little bit sad knowing that a (I suppose) once genuine blogger simply gave up and decided to delegate his thinking process to a token machine.

      Oh I do care punctuation (at least when I'm writing long-form stuff). I mean I shouldn't have cared enough to look at the past articles or comment here. The proper response to AI submissions is ignore and optionally flag.

    I hate AI writing, but I get it on pointless B2B marketing & awful linkedin posts, they're worth nothing, and it's a great way to block and ignore an account. But the fact that blog trying to communicate an interesting idea is using a predictive machine to word things is just so depressing. Is it your blog, or is it chatgpts? Did you come up with the term leverage arbitrage, or did a predictive model? Did OP just provide an outline and let the predictive model write the entire thing? It just feels sad.

When I saw the classic It's not X -- It's Y On the end paragraph, it became very obvious that a lot of this was AI generated. Please, speak in your own voice! The message of this article is almost completely ruined by the use of ChatGPT as a writing crutch.
