I get sad when I read comments like these, because I feel like HN is the only forum left where real discussion between real people providing real thoughts are happening. I think that is changing unfortunately. The em-dashes and the strange ticks immediate triggers my anti-bodies and devalues it, whether that is appropriate or not.

Do you mean it’s written by AI?

Or just my writing style?

Not the writing style, but the fact that the em-dashes and strange ticks make it indistinguishable from something AI-generated. At least take the time to replace them with something you can produce easily on a physical keyboard.

Edit:

Well, actually - this kind of writing style does feel quite AI-ish:

The em dashes didn't strike me as LLM because they had spaces on either side, something I don't typically see in LLM outputs as much. But the quote you highlighted is pretty much dead-on for LLM "speak" I must admit. In the end though, I think this is human written.

It might be a Windows vs. MacOS/Linux thing, but regardless - it's becoming a similar kind of pattern that I'm subconsciously learning to ignore/filter out, similar to banner blindness and ads/editorials.

Why does it produce different ticks and em-dashes?
