>That for some reason uses em dashes

You'd be surprised that there are folks on this planet who love em dashes. I'm one of them and I used to write a lot with em dashes, but stopped using it altogether in the past few years because of AI.

Using em-dash is as much a sign that a writer (1) knows how to produce documents properly and (2) has a good grasp of the English language as it a sign of LLM usage.

I went into my text editor, then used a find-replace tool to replace “--“ and “---“ with the appropriate dashes I copied from a character map website. Manually: with my good ‘ole hands mouse and keyboard. I realise that some grammar can just seem like LLM slop, that’s kind of what they have been designed to output. This is why I went out of my way to add that disclaimer at the end.

I enjoy using em and en dashes for punctuation. They provide a nice break that’s not quite a comma, of which I already have way too many, because I tend to overthink grammar.

I’m sorry my writing style is not appealing to you, but don’t accuse me of publishing AI slop, that’s a shitty thing to do.

I have to resist the urge to troll my friends by writing something intionally in the style of AI, just because I find the "AI Style" to be so ugly and annoying. I don't want to cause any more psychic irritation to my friends and family though so I don't do it.

LLMS are here for >3y, enough time to shape the thought processes and language of the society exposed to its output.
