I hate the fact that using the Oxford comma is now associated with something being written by AI.
You can have my Oxford comma when you pry it from my cold, dead, and death-gripped hands.
I've been using a few resources nowadays associated with AI (Oxford comma, "not X, but Y", trinary lists, em dashes, etc.) to pre-emptively identify and block trashy users.
