My LLM prompts all have “don’t use em dashes or semicolons ever” when I send the output to someone else. ;)

- lxgr 2y agoI get not using em/en dashes, but semicolons don't really have an alternative in many cases (other than rephrasing), do they?
- op00to 2y agoUsually I split it into two sentences, but yes. I don’t really see semicolons used in most business communications, so I treat them as a tell that the text was generated by LLM. Maybe I’m over reacting and prejudiced against semicolon usage.
