It's so frustrating because I've always used them, because it makes sense to use them like any other linguistic device!

You can pry my em dashes — that I’ve been using for more than a decade — from my cold dead hands

I’m too fucking negative and grumpy to be mistaken for ChatGPT.

And I swear.

Bullet points with sub titles in bold are soo easy to understand, but now they makes me look like a fool. A goddarn fool.

I'm with you here. If people are going to accusing me of being AI because of my use of em-dashes—a personal use that predates the Internet almost!—well, that's what block buttons are for. Dumbasses get blocked.

I'll keep using my em dashes and bulleted lists, and in exchange I'll just write unbearably long posts so you know I'm a human. Deal?

The proof of humanity is going for an em-dash in an application that doesn't fix them for you, and instead just having two dashes side by side.

Na it's fine, they'll know I'm not chatgpt, because I have... ✨a personality✨

I have 20 years of typography muscle memory and styleguide rules that dictate proper use of em and en dashes. I’m not dumbing it down. If people can’t tell AI from human writing we’re truly cooked and it won’t be because of punctuation.

Libreoffice was converting mine as I typed

Nah -- double dashes ftw

Here's a cool blog post about this.

Bye bye, em dash (—) 👋

Your going to die trying to die?
