That is very scary. Technology can be manipulated so easily. AI can be a guide or a mirror… but if people outsource their thinking to it… what happens if one day someone does to AI what Musk did to Twitter, but just on a much grander scale?

People are even getting too lazy to reply to Twitter messages now. I see people just “@Grok” and get the bot to write back. Attention spans were already bad, but now people can’t even be bothered to write a paragraph (although it can be funny when Grok doesn’t say what they wanted it to say, lol).

Those same people also refuse to read anything written by a human if it contains em dashes. Such irony.

As a regular user of the em-dash, I was very confused to see people using this as an identifier of AI writing.

Exactly. And I feel like I have subconsciously tried to limit my use of them precisely because of that…
