finitebanjo@piefed.world 4 weeks agoAI uses the Em dash at an extremely high frequency compared to a normal human, because it's common in literature before the age of computers for writing documents and the AI are trained on literature.

Yes, but the conventions about when to use normal, en, and em dashes persist. When writing documents in LaTeX, you simply use -, --, or — depending on which dash you want (and there are linters warning you about using the wrong kind of dash). Are you suggesting I should use the wrong kind of dash on purpose, just because AI uses the right kind of dash? We might as well start spelling words wrong on purpose then

It's unfortunate that we live in a world where AI is costing us, but that's the fact of it.
