It's the em dash that does it for me
- amingilani 1y agoFriendly reminder that em and en dashes were part of English well before ChatGPT was launched. Anecdotally, I’ve been using them forever and English isn’t even my native language.

- qmr 1y agoI use em dashes, but always as two hyphens. I think this notion that em dash always means chatgpt is an overview correction.
- kstrauser 1y agoAIs learned that from humans because it's a normal, common bit of punctuation they see frequently. AIs also use the word "the" frequently.
- hhh 1y agoI have loved the em dash forever and i’m being punished for it now.
