Interestingly, when you're typing in Notion I didn't see any em dashes. Is there some post-processing happening that's converting the hyphens to em dashes? e.g. the following paragraph appeared to have just regular hyphens when you typed on the Loom video:

          <p className="text-[17px] leading-[1.75] tracking-[-0.1px]">
            The difference is subtle but significant. Apache is a web server &mdash; it can host and
            run any web application, for example one written in PHP. Whereas WordPress sits a layer
            above; in fact it typically runs on Apache. What makes it a better analogy for the
            "agentic workload" is what you do with it &mdash; or rather, who and how uses it.
          </p>


This is great. I've considered doing the same thing. After all, I've always used em dashes in my writing, so I suppose all my blog posts are AI-generated as well.


It's also full of wild inaccuracies. I dunno about AI, but the 'Where we are now' segment is some olympian level leaps.


Is "Written by a human" the new "Created with (heart emoji) in San Francisco" footer?
