I follow the same strategy, but loosely - I need those emdashes to signal that I’m using the tools.
- rdtsc 5mo agoThat’s my latest joke — that we’ll have to pretend like we used the tools so they can feel validated they’ve spent all this money on hyped up technology. So, yes, it’s em-dashes and “it’s not just this, it’s that …” so they can hopefully leave us alone.
- xp84 5mo agoI remember feeling embarrassed one time that I used a very early GPT thing to help organize perf reviews for employees from the various bullet points I had written for each (I had a lot of direct reports). But in current world, I assume I’d be praised for doing so.
- nytesky 5mo agoI actually regularly used emdashes in my writing —- my kids complain I write like AI in fact — and now I have to consciously remove them. Likewise, I often used literary flourish and pleasantries like that above article about email decompression; I’m from the south so I think structured formality comes with territory. I do think using LLM to turn notes and bullets into narratives should be considered no different than rendering CSV text into an excel format, just making it more digestible by recipient.
