You people think em dashes are proof of AI?

Jesus Christ that’s so fucking sad.

Most normal people, at least from my understanding, don't use em dashes in text messages, let alone even use punctuation half the time. So if I see em dashes, yeah, my first thought is going straight to AI.

I’m a fiend for a dash - they’re just better

If you were actually a fiend for dashes, you'd have used an em dash—not used a hyphen as a stand-in for one.

Ah well - maybe I’m just a fiend for a wrongly used hyphen 🤷‍♂️. I don’t think I would ever notice which one someone was using.
