"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Lol I assure you, I wrote it all myself. I intentionally used the em dash for this purpose.
Sure you did....
ChatGPT!!!
I use them all thr time. Alt + 0150 or 0151 for en-dash or em-dash respectively on Windows. On mobile, it's long-press on the -, on Linux (German keyboard layout) Alt Gr (+ Shift) + -
I just do a double dash. Some platforms auto convert it, some don’t. I’m a writer and the program I use does the conversion so it’s just muscle memory at this point.
One of the things I hate most about this ai shit is that now people assume any use of an em dash is ai. I’ve been using them longer than the damn robot! I just like to use a variety of punctuation and now I have to be aware that if I don’t change my own writing style then some people will assume I’ve used ai
