New Discord clone (“Harmony”) with a suspiciously AI-looking website, a single contributor, and blistering development = AI. Took me a minute to find it but it looks like they were scrubbed from a few places ~3 weeks ago.

    It’s not the em-dashes, it’s the feelings we have about them. Concern, trepidation, confusion. We don’t need to stop using them, we need to take a breath. generated by the slopinator 5000

      And honestly, you’re right to feel that way. Em-dashes are a genuine indicator of AI usage.

        So are words. 🤷‍♀️ Em dashes are only well-represented in LLM output because they’re well-represented in the training data. There’s no simple litmus test, the scummy LLM companies would just tweak their models if there was one.
