I'm just mad I can't use dashes as punctuation anymore
*Without it looking like I'm using chatgpt
Now you can't write without using em-dashes or you'll be called a bot.
Looking pretty sus there using a dash in emdash
Same. Same.

Totally not a bubble! Just a few thousand more data centers!
Ok, what the heck is an em-dash?
There are two types of dashes. One is the "n-dash" (or "en-dash"), which takes up one space, and is most often used to hyphenate words; and the other is the "m-dash" (or "em-dash) which takes up two spaces, and is most often used to bracket off parenthetical information within a sentence, like kind of a lighter weight parentheses. Em-dashes get used a lot in novels and other published writing that is subject to correction from a professional copy editor, but very rarely in the daily typing of regular people. So now when people see it getting used they just assume it must be a clanker.
A slight correction, en-dashes are used mostly to indicate ranges like Mon–Fri. Hyphens are a separate third thing, smaller than an en-dash.
hyphen
– en-dash
— em-dash
They get their names originally from having the same width as the letter n or m respectively in typesetting (though not all fonts follow that necessarily).
Thank you for the synopsis. However;
This is a clanker:
and this is software:
M-dashes are super useful for setting off parentheticals nicely.
It's the tell that someone used an LLM to write the response.
That’s absurd. I’ve long used em dashes in writing. It’s not at all a tell. Plenty of people use them.
I was checking out the online reviews of my dad's gastroenterologist the other day. The reviews all contained em-dashes although it was obvious just from the content that they were AI-generated. Dude is full of shit, ironically enough.
Ok, but what is it and how is it different than a dash?
What is a search engine?
One of my colleagues submitted a PR with a bunch of emojis in the readmes and log statements and I'm just so infuriated with it.
I literally see it everywhere in my companies' documentation
Our leadership made using and excelling at Copilot as one of our Key Results for upskilling, I make it point to make my code look as botty as possible to show how serious I'm about achieving the target 🎯
Fuck that stupid AI/AGI narrative, even if this is meant as a joke. They're LLMs. Some of them not even so large. A bunch of if statements with access to all the data that advertising companies like Google have harvested for decades.
You're thinking of expert systems, an old form of AI from the 70s
Just a few billion more..? 🤲
I heard Altman wants a trillion $ bailout
I'm gonna use it manually but in the wrong — places.
Wonder if you specify to use en dashes instead if it just collapses and the simulation resets
Bad news, everyone: your AI detection skills are now useless. Every comment here including mine is AI slop.
Dude, Ive been writing for a couple of years now. And I use em dashes, probably because all the authors I like use them. As soon as this AI thing started doing it, everything Ive ever written turned into AI slop over night lol.
By now, I feel they are just straight trying to appeal to scammers.
AGI is science fiction and never happening
I wouldn't say never, but certainly not this century. Probably not the next one, either.
AI was never used to refer to human like intelligence anyway in the AI field. Like any form of computer “intelligence” was called AI. Like chess machines or NPC logic in a game were called AI. It just needs to seem intelligent like the word artificial implies. It’s only now with these LLM peddling companies that suddenly the general public thinks AI refers to reaching human intelligence.
Open ai is a joke.
Yay. Next step... AGI.
AGI is a scam.
A development this groundbreaking is definitely worth another 12-figure investment.
