Have you intentionally included typos in your work?
Last week, I talked with Reader's Digest about whether typos are — get this — the new status symbol. 😱
I'd heard of people doing it to "prove" they aren't AI (which I think is a bad idea), but I hadn't heard of the new "status symbol" idea. It's wild!
