  Yes! I was going to write something, but I loathe crosstreks and their owners to the point where I didn’t want to waste my own time.

  Pretty obvious on account of all the em dashes lol.

    Real people use em dashes — the models were trained on real human output after all — so this new crusade against em dashes as the Mark of Beast for AI has always been and continues to be silly.

      Real people use emojis too

      Doesn’t explain why AI bots loooooove: 🙃 lists with emojis as list points 💩 Em—dashes—without—spaces 🥴 Weird as hell analogies like: 🦮 “responds to throttle like a golden retriever responds to algebra” 🍆 For the record GPT didn’t write this

        Yeah I’m not defending AI output here, it absolutely follows awful and easily recognizable tropes. I’m just trying to fight against the current “em dash = AI” bullshit because, again, real people use real grammar. And people have been using non-LLM spelling & grammar checks which push syntax like em dashes forever; are we to assume that people suddenly stopped using these non-“smart” tools?

        Rally against AI slop all you want, I support you, it’s just the promotion of the dumbed down reductive takes like em dashes or semicolons are indicative of AI.

    I use em dashes…I think it’s sad that a proper grammatical construct is so thoroughly ignored by most people that now it’s a sign of inhumanity.

      Sure, but it’s also in the tone, language and grammatical structure. After you know what you’re looking for, you can feel whether it’s AI written.

      For what it’s worth, I’d be cautious about using em dashes; people basically associate it with AI without exception.

      Even when I use a document editor, and it sometimes 'auto swaps" a dash for an em-dash, I’ll undo it. Just because I wouldn’t want to be perceived as copy/pasting something.
