Why does AI love the em dash (—)??

View original on reddit.com

Summary

Never getting over the fact that AI has claimed the em-dash. My favorite punctuation to use, and now all of the sudden it’s a dead giveaway of AI use. Now I find myself changing it to a hyphen or en-dash (even though it makes less grammatical sense to do so) to avoid the AI accusations. Does anyone know why this is seemingly overused with AI (particularly chat gpt)? submitted by /u/kayyybutwhy [link] [comments]
