I always just google ‘em dash’ then ctrl+c it.

Stovetop@lemmy.world 2 days agoThere’s always one good litmus test, if you can ask someone live before they have a chance to do a Google search: ask what the alt code is for an em dash.
If they don’t immediately answer 0151, they’re full of shit.

meh - I just use a dash and move on.

That’s fine, LLMs use mainly em dashes so there would be less suspicion.

for me it’s just altgr+caps followed by tapping - thrice, way better use of the caps lock key. thank u xmodmap

Opt shift hyphen. What’s an alt code? 🍏

Hmmm, I think to know for sure, we’ll have to throw your device into a lake. Apples float, so if it’s a genuine Designed By Apple in California™ computer that supports that option, it won’t sink and then we’ll know you’re telling the truth.

Or if they start explaining what a compose key is; also human

What if they don’t know the code and just use a keyshift instead?
Stovetop@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Throw them into a lake, I guess. If they sink and drown, they’re innocent. If they float, you know they’re full of (buoyant) shit (and can then safely burn them at the stake if you want to).

Ah, welcome back, Witch Test…

I feel like this is more likely to lead you astray than anything. An LLM bot will immediately know the alt code, while a real person will only know it if they use Windows. Lots of people use Linux, or mobile keyboards.
