Lmao GPT-5 is still riddled with em dashes. At least we can still identify AI generated text slop for now

[1attice]

lol every word processor since the nineties has automatically expanded em dashes, and some of us typography nerds ­manually type em dashes with the compose key, because it's the correct character, and two hyphens does not an em dash make

[tiahura]

The em dashes are there because they're used extensively by professional writers.

You will be foiled by a regex

Can you explain?

sed 's/—/ /g'

[jdoe1337halo]

How so

[andybak]

I thought I was making a fairly obvious jokey riposte?

"If you're claiming that em dashes are your method for detecting if text is AI generated then anyone who bothers to do a search/replace on the output will get past you."

And a semicolon, AI really likes semicolons.

The em dash isn't just the present state of AI slop— it's the future!
