You people think em dashes are proof of AI?
Jesus Christ that’s so fucking sad.
You are vastly underestimating the amount of people who don't use em dashes at all.
I don’t have a good sense of this since I am a trained writer. Is it really so low that one would reasonably conclude an AI wrote something with them?
It's basically unseen outside of professionally written stuff. Most people use commas. But AI like to use them a fair bit, more than the average internet user.
It seems like AI is mostly trained on academic writing then. Very interesting.
I'd say using professional academic notation to break up with someone over text is a bigger red flag than using chatgpt to write it.
Haha I mean, I use em dashes all the time in my writing, so it’s not really accurate to say academic (my mistake). But maybe it comes across as stupid.
