Sounds like ChatGPT appreciated the post

If you think they’re a bot, flag and move on. No need for a derail about writing style.

I did not use ChatGPT—nor any AI—in writing the post. I'm curious, would you mind emailing—or replying—with what made you think that it was written by AI? Or why you do not believe my statement?

I'm ESL, so I often check my grammar on ChatGPT, and 99% of the time it includes em dashes in the corrected sentences, which I remove or just replace with commas or hyphens to sound more natural. So maybe this was not entirely written but just revised by ChatGPT.

Just for the em-dashes? Some humans also use them.

  • A decent way to classify human vs bot when it comes to dashes, is that all bots use ‘em-dashes(—), while almost none use regular dashes (-) in writing. While plenty of humans will use regular dashes, because they won’t bother to look for ‘em-dashes on the keyboard, or phone.

    Of course, you have the people that correctly use em-dashes, too.
