    Right? He doesn’t even know what they are, and while an Em Dash isn’t a guarantee of AI, anyone who is at all concerned about people thinking their writing is AI now avoid them.

    So if this isn’t AI, its someone who failed to think things through. (But its AI.)

    Sidenote: wouldn’t be surprised at all if Em Dashes leave our human lexicon altogether, given the negative association they’ve received. Like spelling changes, AI might just make our writing drift away from them altogether, until AI does get exclusive use of it.

      If the post was made by AI, wouldn’t it be…better? Unless it was prompted to write in this “style.”

        Definitely it’s best attempt to match Donald trump.

        Well, its best given the shitty prompt I’m sure it was given. “Be Donald trump, but make sure you’re understandable and don’t start unnecessary fights”, or something like that.

        I never used them that often. A standard “-” tends to do me just fine.

        But it’s always a shame to be able to convey less in the same amount of characters.
