I'd read this, but I can't stomach this ChatGPT voice. It's absolutely grating.

Author here! This post was human written, LLM proofread, and edited a couple times as folks pointed out broken links and minor errors when it was posted to r/rust a few days ago. As someone mentioned lower in the thread, there's a form of what is sometimes called Bay Area Standard that both very online humans and LLMs have absorbed. I find it FASCINATING that we're in an era where we have to prove our humanity, and the downstream behaviours of things like killing em-dash use in response are interesting to watch in real time. I've made the same mistake, so it's honestly difficult to tell!

So tired of this sort of comment. LLMs are trained using (primarily, generally) online material. It sounds like online humans, in aggregate, plus or minus a bit of policy on the part of the model builders.
