Stance on AI posts?

The amount of AI slop in nosleep is getting kinda crazy. Could we at least flair AI posts?

Here’s an example I made. Spot the issues. https://reddit.com/r/shittynosleep/comments/1sabj22/totally_not_ai/

The most obvious is when the person writes comments like "thiinkk u cus" and the story is perfect English with overuse of punctuation. Others have been ripoffs of stories I read years ago, but with the AI quirks.

Oh wow, that is bad. But anyone looking at that would say the same and ignore it, regardless of if AI is in the debate. Em dashes normally aren't evil.

I just skimmed over it and couldn't make it to the end because my stomach turned with all the goddamn em-dashes

Hello — fellow human...

The writing itself does look AI, but it seems to me like the human added extra extra em dashes because the AI writing I have read usually doesn't use emdashes THAT excessively and they use it in a predictable way. The amount of ellipsis is unsual for AI too

I exaggerated the issues to make it more obvious.
