It's not the semicolons or em dashes but the textual content that struck me as weird.

> The iPhone’s locked-down nature wasn’t a restriction; it was a selling point.

Was it really? I thought it was more about having 1 device that did it all when it launched, and app stores were a rather late addition if anything that still was more pro app store than pro lockdown.

To be clear, I think most of the text in that article was human written. I have absolutely no issues with em dashes or other humane figures of speech that LLMs have unsurprisingly picked up on.

But it was a few paragraphs here and there (like the example I gave) that felt odd and just out of place.

I don't really agree with it either.
