Offtopic (I don't know if they are LLM Or not , I don't want to respond to it because many people will already do it) but someone should study the significance of em-dashes because to me (and maybe you or others) its one of the most significant indicators (sometimes false) as well.

If someone ever used em-dashes before , what are you using now? (I don't use em-dashes but I am curious!) and did you guys ever change to purposeful linguistic errors to not look AI

I am thinking of going back to a , comma like this with spaces in both side intentionally because I used to make this mistake in the start and I had people genuinely fume over this grammar nitpick more times than I can count. But after I stopped it and got better at writing, I got called AI too (mfw when I am a human helloooo)

Just writing what's on my mind recently; I find it funny to change back to grammar mistakes because of AI .

(I made the errors in this post as well! I try to ship ideas fast lol & brain.exe not working after being tired right now :] )

    I keep using them because I've been using them on Mac keyboards since forever (and on iOS keyboards). I don't use them while on Linux because I couldn't be bothered to learn how to type them yet :)

    I will not give up my ways just because AI is taking over
