@ki LLMs have stolen so much content from human-written books, they now try to use em-dashes as often as human writers do. But as a result, some not-very-bright people have now decided that any text that contains em-dashes is LLM-generated. @volpeon

@volpeon@icy.wyvern.rip LLMs ruined nothing. You will take my em dashes from my cold, dead hands

@anthropy I started doing them properly once I realized on Linux they're simple to enter with Shift+Alt+- (also Alt+- for en dash).
