I use em-dashes. Just get over the fucking thing. Wow, you're so money supermarket. And if you're going to use one to drive the point—use it correctly because you come across as an ignorant.
What? Em-dash is option-shift-hyphen on Mac... it's easy to use them. I used to use them. I even used to grab hair-spaces to place on either side of them, as one should (though that doesn't work on HN).
Yeah but a regular - is just a single button press, why would I learn this keyboard combination if I never learned how / when to use emdashes in the first place?
Come on man, you did not. Your profile is full of LLM generated comments. If you're not a native English speaker I understand the motivation, but still...
The point isn't really to get it to admit to being an LLM, it's more that I don't want my favourite social media site which I value for the exchanges I have with other people to be overrun by bots. So I feel that pointing it out when it occurs can improve the overall discourse. Maybe I am naive in thinking that it would make a difference, but I'd rather be naive than to cynically resign in defeat. And perhaps in the long-term, open networks like this will lose the war. And at that point I will seek alternatives.
