"I'm not a bit changed—not really. I'm only just pruned down and branched out. The real ME—back here—is just the same." From Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery (And look at all those em-dashes! Who knew LMM was using AI all along...)

Yeah, this. I don't care how many people think they're "the biggest sign of AI usage." They're too good! Plus I like telling people...if AI uses them that much, and AI learns from writers...well...

we all learned em-dashes from L.M. Montgomery! (and a love of pluperfect tense)
