I appreciate this post for two reasons:
* It gives an indication of how much you need to grow before this Postgres functionality starts being a blocker.
* Folks encountering this issue—and its confusing log line—in the future will be able to find this post and quickly understand the issue.
- Gigachad 1y agoSounds like ChatGPT appreciated the post
- acdha 1y agoIf you think they’re a bot, flag and move on. No need for a derail about writing style.
- jjgreen 1y agoJust for the em-dashes? Some humans also use them.
- Gigachad 1y agoIt’s also the fact it’s just a summary of the post content without anything extra or any opinions.
- jjgreen 1y agoFair point
- TrackerFF 1y agoA decent way to classify human vs bot when it comes to dashes, is that all bots use ‘em-dashes(—), while almost none use regular dashes (-) in writing. While plenty of humans will use regular dashes, because they won’t bother to look for ‘em-dashes on the keyboard, or phone. Of course, you have the people that correctly use em-dashes, too.
- cryptonector 1y agoOn iPhones the input methods turn -- into —. If you see me using em-dashes it's cause I wrote on an iPhone. But I prefer -- to —.
- tracker1 1y agoI've had it happen with various editors on the desktop as well. It's kind of annoying at times.
- yrds96 1y agoI'm ESL, so I often check my grammar on ChatGPT, and 99% of the time it includes em dashes in the corrected sentences, which I remove or just replace with commas or hyphens to sound more natural. So maybe this was not entirely written but just revised by ChatGPT.
- CaliforniaKarl 1y agoI did not use ChatGPT—nor any AI—in writing the post. I'm curious, would you mind emailing—or replying—with what made you think that it was written by AI? Or why you do not believe my statement?
