No em dashes, but there’s enough “it’s not X, it’s Y” give aways of LLM usage.

- pstuart 1y agoI've used double dashes for years and now they get automatically turned into em dashes, and I'm not an LLM (that I can tell so far).

- setopt 1y agoI manually type en- and em-dashes, which on Mac is easily typed using the Option key and on Linux is easily typed with a Compose key, and even on iOS you just long-press the hyphen key. I had to learn the difference between hyphen, en-dash, and em-dash when typesetting scientific papers and theses in LaTeX, and after that it just doesn’t feel right to not use them "properly".
- MikeTheGreat 1y agoand I'm not an LLM (that I can tell so far). Maybe ask your doctor to administer a Turing test?
- pstuart 1y agoI believe the correct test to administer would be the Voight-Kampff test. https://bladerunner.fandom.com/wiki/Voight-Kampff_test https://bladerunner.fandom.com/wiki/Voight-Kampff_test
