Well screw all of us that like using em dashes, I guess.




The people I know that were using special dashes since before AI were all technical and precise writers (which is probably why they paid attention to it in the first place).

I've never seen this unique mix of listicle-like light-hearted fluff with emojis AND special dashes written by humans. LLMs seem to love it, though.


Keep using the em-dash with pride! Don't let the AIs steal such a beautiful thing from us!
