- thamer 1y agoThey're not just from AI-generated text. Some of us humans use en dashes and em dashes in the right context, since they're easy to type on macOS: alt+hyphen and alt+shift+hyphen respectively. On both iOS and modern Android I believe you can access them with a long press on hyphen.

- craigmccaskill 1y agoThey have their place but I'm really just trying to avoid the AI house style that has emerged. I'd rather have my writing—AI-assisted or not—reflect how I actually communicate rather than defaulting to patterns that have become over represented in generated text.

- craigmccaskill 1y agoThat’s not really fair. I mean, I definitely use AI all over the place, but I think that the writing aspect is an important part of thinking too [1]. I still try to write things out myself when it matters. There’s something about wordsmithing that sharpens your thinking and that gets lost when you just drop something into an LLM and pull it out without much thought. Sure, I’ll use AI to help refine or explore ideas, but the core work often starts in my own head. I do write a lot myself, especially when I need to think something through clearly. I use AI tools like anyone else, but I still do the work. [1] https://craigmccaskill.com/writing-is-still-thinking https://craigmccaskill.com/writing-is-still-thinking
