Why do you say that?
- sundarurfriend 9mo agoBecause anything that even slightly differs from the standard American phrasing of something must be "LLM generated" these days.
- JavGull 9mo agoWith the em dashes I see you. But at this point idrc so long as it reads well. Everyone uses spell check…
- naikrovek 9mo agoI add em dashes to everything I write now, solely to throw people who look for them off. Lots of editors add them automatically when you have two sequential dashes between words — a common occurrence, like that one. And this is is Chrome on iOS doing it automatically. Ooh, I used “sequential”, ooh, I used an em dash. ZOMG AI IS COMING FOR US ALL
- Barbing 9mo agoYa—in fact, globally replaced on iOS (sent from Safari) Also for reference: “this shortcut can be toggled using the switch labeled 'Smart Punctuation' in General > Keyboard settings.”
- 3eb7988a1663 9mo agoAnyone demonstrating above a high-school vocabulary/reading level is obviously a machine.
- fao_ 9mo agoI also use Em-Dashes, this is about how weird the thing is tonally
- deadbabe 9mo agoSometimes I want to write more creatively, but then worry I’ll be accused of being an LLM. So I dumb it down. Remove the colorful language. Conform.

- ssl-3 9mo agoFuck 'em. Always write what you want, however you want to write it. If some reader somewhere decides to be judgemental because of — you know — an em dash or an X/Y comparison or a complement or some other thing that they think pins you down as being a bot, then that's entirely their own problem. Not yours. They observe the reality that they deserve.
- deadbabe 9mo agoYou’re absolutely right. It’s not my problem, it’s their problem.
- fao_ 9mo agoIt feels like a LLM doing it's usual "gushing out appreciations"
