You’re so right, — that’s not just annoying, it’s a travesty.
Someone should follow Sam Altman’s recipe for risotto.
Disclaimer I did write that myself as a shit post, if you’re wondering. Most keyboards don’t actually have an easy way to type an em dash. However my phone keyboard will if you long press the regular dash.
AI doesn’t make you seem like a bot. Honestly, you’re a bit mixed up there.
The internet is packed with arrogant idiots who can’t actually detect AI written content anywhere close to as well as they have deluded themselves into thinking – they are the problem in this context.
AI was trained on the content people like you and I have been writing and posting on the internet for decades. It is AI that writes like us and uses our style, not the other way around.
I’ve noticed a pretty severe uptick in not just X, actually Y, clumsy analogies that don’t actually make any sense, people using em dashes who don’t actually know what they are. Plenty of people are just straight up outsourcing their thinking to this thing.
Before 2022 or whenever I don’t think I can recall ever noticing the presence of an em dash.

No the problem is that the internet is packed with AI pig shit slop.

Stolen content. And all our writing is now worth so much less now because of AI slop.
I also use em-dashes on occasion, but I use them right. I can’t define how I use them, nor can I conjure up any reasonable uses for one in this comment, but you can tell when it should be there and when it shouldn’t. Like, an AI would have replaced the second comma in that sentence with one
In my experience one of the easiest ways that you can disguise AI generated writing is to strip all the em dashes and replace them with either semicolons or make the sentence have a clean break.
I feel like I was the training data. It feels like a violation of my rights. A lot of AI writing is reminiscent of my sentence structure, diction, and vocabulary. I’m sure I am not alone, but it is nice to see you echoing my sentiments.
If it’s any consolation, we’re all its training data. Your style is just the one the training and fine-tuning settled on as the one that passed its checks the best.
If there’s one benefit to the rise of AI slop, it’ll be pushing people away from mass social media and back to IRL meetups where you can mostly guarantee you’re talking to a real person.
It might be in your circle but I guarantee you people like my boomer parents (who are still on Twitter by the way) would not notice this at all. They might even respond.
I’m not a boomer or stranger to technology and i don’t notice most modern AI creations, unless really looking for the telltale signs in the almost invisible details and even those are getting harder to spot.
Random ass tweet or picture doesn’t deserve that time and attention to look for those details to determine whatever it’s AI or man made, it’s still data garbage.
They don’t need to notice to change. Unpleasant or uninteresting experiences can lead to them frequenting these places less until they just don’t anymore. A big part of subscription services’ profit comes from these changes being made so unconsciously that people forget to cancel.
As an autistic individual living in a rural middle of nowhere village with no access to transportation to leave and actually go do things of my interest and meet people outside of this regressive MAGA infested cesspool, I fail to see the benefits
I’m not saying it is. I’m saying that, while some may benefit from this, others, such as myself, are being negatively affected and isolated because of it
I’m not saying it’s AI, but I am saying that I hope Sam Altman gets cancer for making me question virtually every string of text I see
As a person who has used em-dash style of writing for decades, because it’s correct and appropriate, I hate that AI has made me seem like a bot

There are definitely some tells.

Perfect.

¿Por que no los dos?
The reason why AI uses em-dashes is because all the journalists and writers used it first.

I don’t know anybody that uses em-dashes in day to day writing. Seems strange to brag that you do that.

You also fail to see that your experience is not universal.

Unless they’re a fucking SYNTH!
Llms tend not to put spaces around their em-dashes
I’ll say it. It’s AI. I was about to comment that I hate how everyone is adopting this LinkedIn lunatics style of writing:
A thing happened It was this thing Or that thing It was this other thing Platitude.
But you just made me facepalm myself because of course it’s AI. It’s the content creator’s ambrosia.
