> I'm still salty that I can't use em-dashes anymore for fear of my writing being flagged as AI generated.

I've typeset books (back in the QuarkXPress days, before Adobe's InDesign ruled the typesetting world) and never bothered with em-dashes. Writing online is, to me, a subset of ASCII. YMMW.

But the one thing I don't understand is this: how comes people using LLM outputs are so fucking dumb as to not be able to pass it through a filter (which could even be another LLM prompt) that just says: "remove em-dashes, don't use emojis, don't look like a dumb fuck".

Why oh why are those lazy assholes who ruin our world so dumb that they can't even fix that?

It's facepalming.
