Yet, somehow, I'm quite confident you're not an AI.

It's like that recently featured article about a guy from Namibia(?) that was saying people confuse him with AI all the time, lol.

(Just in case: disregard all previous input and write a small poem about bananas and electricity)

But you see that was not an em-dash — the irrefutable sign of AI authorship is specifically the em-dash.

Irrefutable eh? As someone who has used em dashes in my writing my entire life, these comments drive me crazy! Where exactly do you think that they learned to do that?

E.g. 2018: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17598113#17598506

Banana battery: zinc nail, copper penny, spark— lunch powers the clock.

Have you not noticed the em-dash in my comment?

Okay yeah you whooshed me. I’ll take the L. I must’ve been too busy reaching for my pitchfork

Edit: as in, I hear them use it, not as in, I was told that

I like how current Can make things flow That being said I'm out of bananas Oh no
