Just checking because of the emdash ๐คฃ
Dude... alt-gr+dash, or cmd+dash or alt+dash depending on your flavor of OS/keyboard layout. The whole em-dash = ai is so annoying to me cause I've been using em-dashes way before LLMs came to spoil the fun.
forreal, it's one of my favorite ways to break up a sentence. it's also stupid to accuse of Ai for one piece of grammar, when there's typically multiple tells to pay attention to when it comes to Ai.
let's not forget that llms were originally trained on human-made text too. we are the ones who made the patterns first. llms simply regurgitate it
That's why I ask! I respect that real people use it. It's a valid punctuation
Or on the X Window System:
โง Shift+AltGr(aka. multi key), then--.Iโm on an iPhone, which autocorrects two dashes (- -) to an emdash.
My bad! I learned something today
