[Tex/LaTex] For AAAI template, what is the proper way to format authors when there are too many authors

author

In AAAI template, what is the proper way to format authors when there are too many authors from the same affiliation? The example given in the section "Formatting Author Information — Alternative Method" even has syntax errors.

\author{AuthorOne},\textsuperscript{1}
\author{AuthorTwo},\textsuperscript{2}
\author{AuthorThree},\textsuperscript{3}
\author{AuthorFour},\textsuperscript{4}
\author{AuthorFive}, \textsuperscript{5}\\
\textsuperscript{1}AffiliationOne}\\
\textsuperscript{2}AffiliationTwo}\\
\textsuperscript{3}AffiliationThree}\\
\textsuperscript{4}AffiliationFour}\\
\textsuperscript{5}AffiliationFive}\\
\{email, email\}@affiliation.com,
email@affiliation.com,
email@affiliation.com,
email@affiliation.com

Using \and to separate authors seems to appear strange, as there are small "and"s between every two neighboring authors.
