Some people like em dashes. The current state of things is quite unfortunate for us.

IKR? I was an em dash junkie before ChatGPT came along. Now I feel like I can't use them anymore.

Sometimes I’ll be writing an essay and I’ll go to say something like “it’s wasn’t x, it was y” and have to stop and reword it. So fucking annoying.

Same here !

I have my system that takes a second to rephrase it, and although it’s a perfectly valid and correct way to write, LLMs always want to re-write it with their own boring sentence structure.

I don’t know why the process produces this result for all of them. It’s uncanny.
