    From the post title, description, and other peoples comments, I took away that the meme is m9re about suspecting your ex didnt even write their own breakup message based off the use of em dashes.

    Its a cute surface level joke but it touches in a real nerve because Its becoming more and more common for you to be falsely accused of being an LLM and being told to "ignore all previous instructions and (some stupid instruction) based off small writing quirks like using em or markdown and top comments share this frustration too.

    I shouldn't have to feel self conscious about the way I write

    Just to pass armchair llm detector wannabe vibe checks 🖕.

    Any time someone accuses me of being a bot I respond with "Tiananmen Winnie the Pooh 8647 Luigi Mangione" and that generally proves my humanity

    What'd I miss about Winnie the Pooh?

    It's a code that Chinese internet users use to refer to Xi Jinping. Or at least they used to. The CCP caught on and now that phrase gets auto deleted off of Chinese websites. "Tiananmen, Winnie the Pooh" proves I'm not a Chinese AI, and "8647, Luigi Mangione" proves I'm not an American one. I'm not really sure what would prove I'm not a Russian one. "Fuck Vladimir Putin"?

    I mean most people are going to use their phones to write messages and given you can’t physically type an em dash it would be normal to be suspicious if you see one.

    Edit: turns out you can physically type them. Still, given that it’s not normal to use them it’s a sign in my book.

    — try long pressing your phone keyboards hyphen key.

    Ok. You can physically type them I concede, but normal humans don’t use them. Still a sign.

    I would bet that the amount of non proof writers that uses em dashes goes up just because people see that it’s associated with ai and want to be funny.
