I’ve seen a number of people mention em dashes specifically—and it makes sense—since most people really don’t use them while writing informally. I’ve been on the em dash train for a long time, along with other special characters like the interrobang. To be blunt, I am not going to let some billionaire corporate garbage control my language; I refuse to self censor the way I actually want to type. I see it as no different from dotting out letters to bypass filters, or creating algorithm “family-friendly” slang. I will not let Sam Altman or Elon Musk or any other disgusting parasite dictate my voice—fuck that.
While boring and formal text may look AI generated—it can actually be like that for the following reasons:
- The person writing it likes formatting.
- The person writing it used em dashes (and probably did before ai)
- The person writing it is probably neurodivergant.
wait- simce when is it a thing thad neuro-divergent peeps use em-dashes?
thads a new thing to me----
akso like - theres nithin wromg with puttin fancy punctuation; into peepses text, it is preddi cool when done with intent i feel-
I like the dashes because I feel like it can separate words better than commas, which is helpful at times. I preferred en-dashes myself, though. The dashes seemed too crowded otherwise.
I’m a fan of using the extra punctuation; it makes getting my point across feel better—which is cool.
thads fair - symbols structre text nicely ~ ~ ~
I used a bulleted list in an argument with someone on discord and they accused me of using AI
thads dum.,. i guess peeps r bot used to peeps usin formatting at all…, ive had a similar thing back in school–gosh its sad
I’m just autistic, ok??? I’m trying my best :,(
awwww nununu u did nothin wrong ~ ~
unless ofcourse if ur en evil ceo postin bout nothin on linkedin - in whivh case - i think thads boring -
but like - thads NOT u! ur waaay mor intrstng than thad-
Oh no! I’ve been spotted as the evil CEO posting about the quarterly increase in demand for imported manufactured merchandise over taxation legislation in the offshore market economy wibbly wobbly mumbo jumbo nonsense!!
Muah ha ha ha!! Meow
I write like that all the time… ;-; Do I need to adjust my writing style since apparently the bots use it?
The bots sound like you, not the other way around. They can get their own style, buncha clanker wannabes
waitwaitwait - whaddoyou mean exactly? u mean using em dashes? ~ ~~ — —
its totally fine to use em - like - they look fun and stuff! nothin wrong with thad-
it tends to be a combo of intentless yappin with em dashes and sentences like “its not just this—but also that”
totally no need to change writin style - type like u wana type <3 <3 <3
EDIT: or did i miss somthing? what part of the post resembles ur writing? mayb there is som second unintend message in the post… which i might wana remove- u kno?
ceo’s words r only slightly mor valuable than llm generated bs i feel-
I put them slightly below, as even a mindless bot has more deep insights than them.

Ditto. Plus the mindless bot can be sometimes useful.
thads a fair onion - som llms cn yap preddi gud - but corpo bs is at least like - funi cuz a real life human hand wrote it - like - with real emotions and intent - but it ends up as… nothing…
llms adapted this nothingness for som reason, but… dun hav any intent behind their output - at least i feel like thad-
while im prolli the biggest “llm-fan” on blahaj lemmy, i still view llm output as throwaway media…
but corpo bs is at least like - funi cuz a real life human hand wrote it - like - with real emotions and intent
“Corporations” and “emotions”? Unless you mean greed, they don’t belong in the same sentence.

It has a lot of really great insight into how LLMs actually work at the meso scale.
oooooh trust me - i am alrdi deep into them llms - but thanksies for recommending the source <3
Same. I’ve always thought that they’re cool tech, but I hate how capitalism decided to use it.
