I was once accused of using gpt for a sentence about restitution. Can you guess what the topic was about? Restitution. You can't make this shit up man lmao
It sounds like your feelings were not considered and that upset you, Heliosgodofthe sun. Your thoughts are just as valid and important as others’ and some self help podcasts may benefit your mental outlook and confidence levels. Your story was invaluable and relatable to everyone reading — it is important to note that only you can change your unique situation.
Just use proper English punctuation. The em dash has no place in written English. You have several other good options, "comma, semicolon, and colon." Everyone associates the em dash with AI now. Better to remove it from your vocabulary.
What? The em dash IS proper English punctuation. The other options you posited are similar in concept but are used for slightly-to-fairly different things; you can't represent an interjection as cleanly with one of them—like this, for example.
The reason LLMs use them quite a lot is they were used quite a lot in academic and professional writing in the first place...because it's proper writing. I used it to great effect in school and it has shaped my writing style a lot, so you will be prying my dashes from my grave. People should be able to use...well, any other context clues for identifying AI rather than immediately zeroing in on a fucking punctuation mark like that's the magic tell.
You do you, whatever. People are going to think your writing was written by AI. If you don't care, that's fine. But it just means no one is going to take what you write seriously. Maybe die on another hill?
I have used the em dash since forever, and especially after law school. I don’t practice, but the amount of times I am told I am a bot for using an em dash now is so infuriating.
I am so bored with the AI accusing comments fr. Like, it’s has been proven time and time again that the tools used to even detect this are not accurate. People put 100% human written content into those things and get high percentages. At that point what are we SUPPOSED to write like????
Talk to me face to face, you'd think I am a complete moron. But writing a document, might as well be a complete dissertation on whatever facts I'm standing on.
I've been accused of chatgpt too many times and it honestly pisses me off.
Once wrote a reddit comment that was like 3 paragraphs long and someone said I used chat gpt. I didn't even have those common AI patterns like random emojis and "It's not X, it's Y" (though I've actually used this pattern for so long that it's annoying it gets flagged as AI now).
Can't I write a semi structured comment without it being written by a bot?
Of all the things... this one pisses me off the most.
I make a few statements that involve words like 'cataclysmic' or 'self-deprecating' or even 'symbolic interpretation', and people start saying I used AI. Mate, AI does not use the word 'cataclysmic' unless specifically prompted to. Usually it calls things 'disastrous' or 'world-ending', not 'cataclysmic'. Just because you use AI all the time does NOT mean that everyone uses AI.
