The linked article on medium was also written by AI, which immediately disqualifies it from being interesting or useful.

"And the worst part? Apple didn’t provide a switch to turn it off."

Now see, this is AI. A normal human being would write, "Apple didn't even provide any way to switch off this non-feature" - for example. AI always, for reasons that are likely neither interesting nor especially illuminating, writes like this. Unnecessary and stupid stylistic choices everywhere.

Look, if you cannot be bothered to write something, why on God's Good Earth would anyone bother to read it?

Is this the new em dash witch hunt?

I sometimes write like that because I noticed for regular people, they tend to pay more attention if some things are written a specific way. It’s like an FAQ.

I’ll continue to use bolded titles and bullet points when writing for a regular audience.

If AI does this, it's because it's ingested the last 25 years of bad internet headlines. Written allegedly by humans.

And to be honest? It’s really annoying indeed.

I like it. A lot of times I just skim, so sentences like this let me know when to pay more attention to some point the author is trying to make.

I'm not saying you're wrong about this article being AI-written, but I know people who write like this, and I hate it.

Exactly. AI wrote this way because humans wrote this way. Just as humans used em-dashes long before AI was a thing.
