"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

There's no space between the dash though. AI does em dash like -- this, and the email did it like--this.
That's not an em dash in your comment. In the email it looks to be an em dash.
Here are the three dashes: em dashes (—), en dashes (–) , and hyphens (-)
It's the width that makes the em dash so noticeable in ai content.
I know, but you know what I meant. It's the spaces next to the em dash which scream AI. If there aren't spaces, then it's probably not AI.
i usually put spaces around em dashes because it's slightly more readable. i hate LLMs so much
right, good, that's also for humans to do. But LLMs exclusively do it that way too.
