With the em dashes and the conclusion "This was not called execution. It was called retirement." I expect a lot of people would believe today that these title cards were written by an LLM.
You're not wrong, but part of the core problem with LLMs is that they write every blog post and README like they're writing the opening titles for Blade Runner.
Also touched on at https://typesetinthefuture.com/2016/06/19/bladerunner/ (and the book)
Came here to say the same thing.
I think the Alien one is even better: https://typesetinthefuture.com/2014/12/01/alien/
As someone who isn't a type nerd, I think a more apt title would be "The Title Cards in Blade Runner are Thoughtfully Executed."

There's a lot of em dashes in the article as well, along with some phrasing that is very LLM. I think this was written with a mix of LLM and human.
Pretty much anything professionally typeset will use the appropriate dashes.
Thematically appropriate for it to be difficult to tell something human-created from something generated by a computer.
Almost a bit too on the nose.
I would expect the LLM-ese to not repeat "called" like that.
Can we get off with "the em dashes" – I've been using them for years (checks post history:), decades.
I found this site [https://fontsinuse.com/] mentioned in the article to be quite interesting to browse through.
