> Aside from favoring the long em-dash (—) which isn't on most keyboards Interesting! I intentionally edit my keyboard layout to include the em-dash, as I enjoy using it out of sheer pomposity—I should undoubtedly delve into the extent to which my own comments have been used to train GPT models!

–: alt+shift+minus on my azerty(fr) mac keyboard. I use it constantly. "Stylometry" hazard though !

delve? Did ChatGPT write this comment for you?

  For me, at least, it's common knowledge "delve" is overused and I would include it in a mock reply.

I just use it because it's grammatically correct—admittedly I should use it less, for example here.

On my keyboard (en-us) it's ALT+"-" to get an em-dash. I use it all the time because it's the "correct" one to use, but it's often more "correct" to just rewrite the sentence in a way that doesn't call for one. :)

  I think that’s en-dash (–, used for ranges). Em-dash (—, used mid-sentence for asides etc) is the same combo but with shift as well.

Word processors -- MS Word, Google Docs -- will generally convert three hyphens to em dash. (And two hyphens to en dash.)

Just so you know, text using the em-dash like that combined with a few other "tells" makes me double check if it might be LLM written. Other things are the overuse of transition words (e.g., "however," "furthermore," "moreover," "in summary," "in conclusion,") as well as some other stuff. It might not be fair to people who write like that naturally, but it is what it is in the current situation we find ourselves in.

On Windows em dash is ALT+0151; the paragraph mark (§) is ALT+0167. Once you know them (and a couple of others, for instance accented capitals) they become second nature, and work on all keyboards, everywhere.
