As someone who's always used lots of em dashes, the latest discourse around "you can tell if something is written by AI if it uses em dashes" is causing me to change how I write so that I pass the Turing Test 😅

Interestingly, Claude seems to be able to print an em dash, but not those fancy tilted quotation marks (they're called left and right double quotation marks apparently). Also it seems to be unaware of that fact.

LLM usage of the emdash is absolutely chronic — so if it’s just one, then you’re good right?
