One quote stood out to me, after reading plenty of LLM-filtered items: "That is not just my storyβ€”it is our story." The specific use of the emdash without spaces around it and the "not A -- but B" is immediately suspicious. Of course, LLMs were trained on PR speak so who knows if this is genuine.

Hearing undergrads complain that the show they went to was fill of Green Day fans and "ugh they're all *old men*", good times.
