If you ever paste AI-generated markdown into Google Docs (using the 'Paste as Markdown' option), you might have noticed that the formatting is not always perfect.
At the time of writing (April 2025) there are a few annoyances:

Headings are often too deep: the top level headings use heading 2.
Links are often long and ugly, which is annoying when they appear within the body of the document.
Bulleted lists often use hyphens instead of asterisks (*) which means you get hyphens as bullets insted of circles/dots.
