>Don’t assume something you cannot prove.
Well it's an inherently unprovable accusation, so assumption will have to do. It reeks of LLM-ese in certain word choices, phrases, and structure, though. I thought it was quite clear.
>It was great writing
Err... no accounting for taste, I suppose.
- afiori 9mo agoJust saying but LLM-ese as the common dominator of how people wrote, it is likely the writing style of a lot of people

- tomjakubowski 9mo agoEm-dash has a trivial and mnemonic shortcut on Macs (Option-shift-hyphen), so I've been an em-dash user for as long as I've had one.
- Anamon 9mo agoI committed typing en-dashes and ellipses on Windows to muscle memory. Alt+0150, Alt+0133. Bam! I'm sure there are easier ways this can be set up. But, as I said, muscle memory. Although I'll have to admit that wanting to use proper typography in the first place probably started when I was typesetting a print magazine on a Mac, where it's super easy to do it the proper way. (I'm also never going to let AI slop discourage me from trying to use proper punctuation.)
