> AI-generated artifacts (like "smart quotes" or em-dashes)

I write from the keyboard using “smart quotes…” It’s so much more beautiful.

Smart quotes should work like ligatures rather than being special characters.

Totally agree for prose. The headache is that AI often generates code with those smart quotes, which causes immediate syntax errors in compilers.

That’s why I made it a toggleable rule: keep them for writing, but swap them automatically when you need valid code.
