I have nothing against em dashes. As long as your writing is human, experienced readers will be able to tell it's human. Only less experienced ones will use all or nothing rules. Em dashes just increase the likelihood that the text was LLM generated. They aren't proof.
- brookst 7mo agoThat nuance is lost on the majority of anti-AI folks who’ve learned they get positive social reactions by declaring essentially everything to be AI written and condemnable. “An em dash… they’re a witch!”… “it’s not just X, it’s Y… they’re a witch!”
- andersonpico 7mo ago> anti-AI folks who’ve learned they get positive social reactions by declaring essentially everything to be AI written and condemnable. that's a strawman alright; all the comments complaining how they can't use their writing style without being ganged up on are positive karma from my angle, so I'm not sure the "positive social reactions" are really aligned with your imagination. Or does it only count when it aligns with your persecution complex?
- NetMageSCW 7mo agoYou have the same problem apparently. You think it’s okay to go witch hunting and accuse people with no real evidence.
- NetMageSCW 7mo agoEvidently there are no experienced readers who post AI accusations.
- gopher_space 7mo agoSame weight as "there are no experienced men who'll ask a woman if she's pregnant."
