Same here! I also love my bulleted lists; however, there are some key differences in how I write:
- *Less formatting*: I don't start every bullet point with bold text
- *Varying structure*: I don't start each list item with a one or two word summary, followed by a longer description of what I mean
- *Mobile differences*: I actually only use em dashes on my phone, since it's easy to type on Android, but I refrain from their use on desktop.
Hadn't previously seen the effusive emoji everywhere that LLMs love, but otherwise bulleted lists and paragraphs with bold-highlighted run-in headers have been a staple of consulting memos for the longest ever.
Very effective way to summarize reports, recommendations, or analysis. IME well-received and appreciated by those consuming complex info for the first time.
Still love the style, though one does need to soft-shoe it so as to not scream "this is LLM copypasta!"
