Why are all these articles lying. It's still not following the em dash rules, you just now have a preference setting to have it not use the em dash.
It doesn't understand how to use it any better than before.
It no longer uses any em dashes for me.
So someone was smart enough to set the preference on as a default.
I give it a few weeks tops before it starts inserting them even more aggressively than before because of the AI equivalent of incest and then they have to scramble to add a hard rule making them unable to do emdashes. All while Altman cries from how pathetic of a "man" he is.
Sure! I will try in a few--weeks!
So, making inorganic accounts a little harder to detect. Cool cool, cool.
I know there's other tells besides the em dash, but this is just deliberate obfuscation on his part to further enshittify the internet.
