- djeastm 7mo agoI don't find this at all. There's a certain style, or flourish, to LLM-ish writing that makes it noticeable. It's not just spelling and grammar.
- RandallBrown 7mo agoI end all of my sentences with periods and I was told that I have a negative attitude at work because of it. Seriously, my manager's advice was to stop ending my sentences with periods.

- ordu 7mo agoIIRC there was some psychological paper claiming that periods at the end of chat messages are bearing some emotional signal. I don't remember what it was exactly. I suppose your manager was too much into shitty psychological research.
- john_strinlai 7mo agoi sort of get it. or, at least, i can empathize with it. my dad (in his 80s) ends 50%+ of his sentences in an ellipses. most people i know my age find it a bit jarring (is he mad? expecting more information?). and its not just him, ive met several people around the same age who have a similar habit in their writing. so, when i had a similar conversation about coming across as rigid/negative with my emails, i figured it was a similar phenomenon between the younger generation and my generation as my generation and my dads. now i typically end with a "thanks!" to coworkers instead of "thanks.". not a big deal for me if it makes other people happier.
- yborg 7mo agoYou should consider finding other employment or at least another manager. If this is an example of how you are being evaluated in that organization, it can only get worse.
- el_benhameen 7mo agoI have used em dashes and semicolons for decades. The LLM appropriation of my writing style has been almost as devastating as their impending vaporization of my career path.
- NooneAtAll3 7mo agoI don't understand where you "users of em dashes" are coming from em dash isn't on the keyboard, where do you even find it?
