I spot an em dash. Can't even use his own words to go on an unhinged rant about someone he doesn't like
The em dash is weird but an LLM would have produced a coherent and clean text, not something like "I never watch his show" followed by three paragraphs of how he watches his show (quick read, I didn't actually read the rant), with digressions, random capitalized nouns and typos like DESPARATELY
I'm guessing iPhone autocorrect? Maybe if you type two dashes consecutively it writes the em dash?
It really wouldn't be hard to tell an LLM to write like he xeets. You have half of the prompt done already in your comment. I'm betting it's slop.
Handful in the first paragraph... its all slop
SIgh indeed
You know people, especially olds, used the emdash before ChatGPT ruined it for us all.
Yeah but he's using AI and we all know it
To dictate, maybe. But he's not asking Grok "give me an extensive rant with very obscure 1990s entrainment industry name dropping calling Bill Maher a loser."
I think he is, because Grok builds data on you, and if you ever call someone a loser it tries to remember your opinion on that so it can parrot it to sycophantically please you
tl;dr: spaces around em-dash tell nothing about text being LLM-generated
Non-tl;dr ahead:
Shouldn't em dash be not surrounded by spaces—like this—as per grammatical | punctuational | formatting | typography rules? I've always tried to use em-dash as seen fit (at first relying on some websites to turn two consecutive hyphens -- like here -- into one. Though at first I didn't even notice, and now actively despise how it looks like without spaces, so mostly use it like in the post — here is an example. LLMs are supposedly good at these writing things, as I've heard.Did a little web search and yeeeeeeeeeah. Apparently there exist "styles" which suggest both variants, with the more general rule just being consistent. At least for English. In my language spaces are required (except between dates), so apparently it's not so much about personal preference.
So yeeeeah, it actually tells nothing about this rambling being AI-generated, LLMs (looked through my usage too) use both variants. Sorry if I wasted your (reader) time, hope you learned a little along the way.
Still won't read original post.
