I hate that people now associate dashes with ai as I used to really like using them (distinguishing between regular, en- and em-dashes, using them to make structure clearer over regular commas).

    Same. I've actively avoided using them because LLMs ruined it.

    Don’t get me wrong, i like using dashes too.

    I actually have a contract to sign which requires an em dash that changes the interpretation drastically. I am struggling to get the author to realise its importance because i received 3 updated versions that did not include it. And this is after i replied with a self-fixed document the first time.

    But this article really does use them a lot, and thats not the only tell, just a more obvious one.

    I dont know how accurate zerogpt is but i gave it the full text and they returned 100% ai writen, not even a mix.
