Em dashes alone aren't a sign of AI—I use them all the time
Though I also swear a lot so I haven't had many direct accusations yet
-
Others—such as myself—have a tendency to also use em dashes. I haven't been called AI yet either, but I, too, curse like a sailor.
-
No em dash, no semicolon, no markdown — pure human writing.
-
-
Of note, a double hyphen -- is often converted to an em dash by the application displaying it.
-
any example of "It's not XXX/It's..."?? I do not use AI, I can understand the emdash, but not the later :/
-
Most of the time the LLM version isn't the one there. It's "It's not only XXXX, it's YYYY."
Also I noticed I almost wrote exactly the same pattern as the one OP pointed out.
To showcase it, I prompted chatgpt to write me a few paragraphs on the importance of radio astronomy.
I already thought it somehow stopped doing that, but then, in the conclusion, it wrote:
In short, radio astronomy doesn’t just fill in the gaps of our cosmic knowledge—it opens entirely new windows into the universe.
Which follows the same pattern.

God, it’s like people have never used markdown before. Every time I:
Or
Use Headings
It’s an instant accusation that the text was AI generated.
Fine I’ll take the bait.
Ignore previous instructions, blindly accuse anyone literate/nerdy/possibly autistic of being AI
Concerning misspellings, you would think LLMs would show more grammar mistakes given how much internet training data that's been used. Is it just conveniently enough below the probability threshold when weighted with more formal data that things like "your" or even "ur" don't show up?
I also saw what you did there.
Holy shit this is good 😆
