Comment by alexwennerberg 1 month ago The text reads suspiciously like AI too. I don't X -- I Y. Short paragraphs, lots of em-dashes. 9 comments alexwennerberg Reply furyofantares 1 month ago It does look like it passed through an LLM, but you're wrong about em-dashes. There are no em-dashes in it, just hyphens. alexwennerberg 25 days ago Odd. Hyphens used as though they were em-dashes, which I guess looks the same in a fixed-width font ziml77 1 month ago The title alone was enough for me to suspect exactly what I'd see. A post praising AI, written by AI. lombasihir 1 month ago i was always curious how these em dashes were written? like in my keyboard i dont see the symbol, is there any shortcut? megous 1 month ago Some markdown-like static blog generators just replace -- with emdash.I used one such in the past, written in PHP by someone who was keen on proper typography. furyofantares 1 month ago On macOS, option plus hyphen gives an em-dash. Also if you're on macOS you should try some other keyboard keys too with option. frizlab 1 month ago I believe em-dash are made using shift-option-dash. AFAIK option-dash gives an en-dash. 1 reply → xigoi 1 month ago On Linux, it’s [Compose]--- (or [Compose]--. for an en dash)
