Ha, fair question! But no irony here—I actually wrote it myself. That said, it's kind of funny how quickly we've reached the point where any well-written, balanced take sounds like it could be AI-generated. Maybe that's part of the problem we're trying to solve!

I see that em dash I know what you're doing

Either LLM or quality trolling

It really is crazy how predictable it is.

[–] RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Even saying fair question set off alarms. At this point saying anything good about a response at the start is immediate red flag.

These lists of red flags make me feel like I must be a replicant. I wrote a comment just like that one, em dash and all, on a different site just the other day, with my own organic brain!

My first instinct was to use an em dash instead of that last comma, but it seemed too on the nose.

I've started to drop using emdashes because AI ruined them--bastards.

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 2 points 2 days ago

Honestly I don't think dropping them is a particular loss. I use them in work writing and then in more casual writing if I happen to be using the keyboard I use for that work since I have a key binding for it, but that's all. The distinction of dash length (or of dashes from hyphens) doesn’t bring anything useful to our writing in my opinion
