I used em dashes heavily 15 years ago when writing my PhD thesis.
- SecretDreams 8mo agoSame, but 5 years ago. Now they're ruined for me lol.
- singpolyma3 8mo agoSo did every author of classic literature. People who think they can spot AI writing by simple stylistic indicators alone are fooling themselves and hurting real human authors
- zeroonetwothree 8mo agoLet’s just say when my coworkers started sending emails with tons of bold and bullet points when they had never done that before I felt pretty justified in assuming they used AI
- A_D_E_P_T 8mo agoIt's because LLMs were trained on classic literature that they began to use em-dashes in their now-famous manner. Seriously, highbrow literature is heavily weighted in their training data. (But the rest is Reddit, etc.) This really explains a lot, I think.
