The entire point of em-dashes as identifier for LLMs is not the usage of dashes/hyphens/whatever themselves - dashes are just part of normal human writing. The point is that almost no human would use actual em-dashes in a normal conversation, as using them is very annoying with a full sized keyboard and a pointless detour on a phone at best. Therefore, it’s usually reserved for professional writing (Books, studies, etc.). But LLMs don’t distinguish, and just use the most common token of their training data, which is em-dash, even when it doesn’t fit.
This whole endeavor is - at best - completely pointless.
Nice try AI with the Hyphen - instead of emdash —

On my keyboard layout, it’s shift + comma, which makes sense as a stronger, capital separator, so I do frequently use them on my PC

It was a joke, that commentor was AI, and trying this fool us
Point to where the emdash is located on my physical keyboard, human.
Most word-processors will replace two ‘-’ with an em-dash. Incidentally, when I just wrote out
--is was replaced with an em-dash here on lemmy.Yep, word does that after you type the next word and hit space
Alt+0151 (might only be one of you Alt keys, depends which one you established as the Alt character controller)
Think you got em mixed up, but you’re close.
I was making a joke that commetor was AI but has leanred to fool us with hyphens now, as we are onto emdash…but oh well
