Just curious, are you purposely mocking the LLM writing style?

That’s how everybody in academia, tech, and published authors in general used to write.

Where do you think the LLM is getting it from? ^_^

  • the full on em dash requires a different character than - or --

    it was generated that way, or else this person happens to know the correct combination of buttons to make that happen.

    in 2026, at least 20-40% of social media traffic is bots (and probably higher with better LLMs), so it is usually safer to just assume.

    • On a Mac, at least, the "correct combination of buttons" is trivial and easy to remember, even for someone like me who rarely uses em-dash. (But, I want to start using it more because I'm sick to death of people treating it as a scarlet letter.)
