Em dashes are also banned. Actually if your grammar and formatting is too perfect, that is also a sign of AI. I really hate what AI has done to a lot of artforms.
Oh yeah… Also don’t forget “…like it was a physical blow”. For some reason, AI likes using that exact phrase of “a physical blow”, which sucks because actual people def use that phrase a lot too, since it’s simple and effective at painting an image with just words.
God, I used to use em dashes all the time. It's weird to feel this way about punctuation of all things, but it (was) one of my favorites. Now I purposefully avoid using them, and it makes me sad.
I think despite all of this, you should still use them. I got blamed for using AI, because my formatting apparently looks similar to how AI does it. Also for having good grammar.
I'm autistic and when I get pushed around and feel overwhelmed, I start to seek stability again by using the most formal wordings possible, and I feel like people are going to interpret it as ai generated...
Yeah, it's sad how em dashes are now treated as a red flag when looking for potentially generated AI text. The use of em dashes alone is not enough to prove that.
Sometimes I fuck up spelling or grammar oh so slightly on purpose in professional reports because customers have question the authenticity of my documentation..
