I think you meant to use an "en-dash" there -- between "me" and "making".

This whole thing is frustrating because I know all of these language models were trained on reddit and I was an early and frequent commenter. So a lot of my style is also the bot's style.

I think they meant to use an em-dash, which is this: —. An en-dash is typically used for ranges, e.g. 20–30 miles per hour.
