Yeah, it already happened to the journalist that would have written this article. I find it a bit funny that the picture caption is just the prompt they used to generate it
First it was funny, then sad…
oh no, that em dash..
I use the em dash constantly, and have done for years, so finding out it's a big "this was written by AI" indicator makes me sad — I'm not an AI user, I just like the way it looks!
Same. I use it very occasionally for parenthetical phrases because I just think it's the most appealing way to do so.
You can do the things all GenX people learned on typing class, the double hyphen.
Also, we double space after periods. That's a hard but of muscle memory to get out of my head.

The double space automatically ages you. Ageism….
