Meet the Author

Hot take: there’s a good chance that AI’s writing abilities have already peaked, and they’re… just okay. 

Maybe not a surprising take, from a writer, but hear me out. My skin in the game aside, scientists, critics, and even Bill Gates have been questioning whether AI can get much better since at least 2025. AI lovers and haters alike claim that artificial intelligence’s abilities are exponentially growing. But, at least when it comes to LLMs, that may not be true. 

The em dash. Odds are you’ve heard of it — and maybe you’re offended by the way I just used it. You wouldn’t be alone. 

In 2026, the em dash has become a symbol of AI slop. A red flag that something was written by a machine and not a human. Suddenly, everyone has an opinion on this punctuation mark. Most of those opinions are: stop using it.

And I’m here to say: over my dead body.

I’m a professional writer and I refuse to give up the em dash — and you should too. Here’s why.

I may be four years late, but I finally made it. I’m on TikTok. And I hate to say it but… I like it.

Here at Nebo, we love any excuse to go hard for a holiday — big or small.

On Pi Day, we give out a grand prize for whoever can recite the most digits of Pi by memory. Neboween is a weeklong celebration of games and over-the-top costumes. Thanksgiving is a two-part affair (Thanksgiving Lunch, followed by Leftovers-giving). Even National Ferret Day gets its very own Zoom background.

For no real reason at all, I’ve always avoided Chardonnay. Something about it just feels so nineties, so Girls Night Out, and not in the nostalgic Sex and the City reboot way. 

In short, Chardonnay feels passé.

But a few weeks ago, with the Pinot Grigio out at the bar, I ordered a glass of Chardonnay — and to my surprise, I enjoyed it. It was crisp, refreshing and just slightly fruity. I found myself asking: do I like Chardonnay??? And why is this wine so divisive among my millennial friends?
