A shortcut for detecting if something is written with AI is they all use this symbol "—" throughout the writing. It's relatively rare when a human uses it, maybe once or twice, if that. But AI chats love using it. No clue why.

Before I landed on today’s Super Bowl badge I made these little explorations. Simple and fun. Enjoy the game!

Being an adult in 2025 means dreading making the simplest phone call for 2 weeks that in actuality would only take like 30 seconds.
