and you're responding to a comment where the LLM has been instructed to not to use emdashes.

And I'm responding to a comment that was generated by an LLM that was instructed to complain about LLM generated content with a single sentence. At the end of the day, we're all stoichastic parrots. How about you respond to the substance of the comment and not whether or not there was an emdash. Unless you have no substance.

Posting (unmarked) LLM-generated content on public discussion forums is polluting the commons. If I want an LLM's opinion on a topic, I can go get one (or five) for free, instantly. The reason I read the writing of other people is the chance that there's something interesting there, some non-obvious perspective or personal experience that I can't just press a button to access. Acting as a pipeline between LLMs and the public sphere destroys that signal.

Have you ever listened to a bad interview? Like, really bad? Conversely, have you ever listened to a really good interview? Maybe even one of the same subject? The phrase "prompt engineering" is a bit much, but there's still some skill to it. We know this is true, because every thread there's people saying "it doesn't work for me!" while others are saying it's the second coming.

So maybe while it makes you feel smart because you're a stoichastic parrot that can repeat LLM generated!111 like you're a model with a million parameters, every time you see an emdash, it's a lazy dismissal and tramples curiosity.

I have no idea what you think you're responding to. I use LLMs frequently in both professional and personal contexts and find them extremely useful. I am making a different, more specific claim than the thing you think I am saying. I recommend reading my comment more carefully.
