I suppose it is a woefully underutilized glyph, isn’t it? I consider it very important, and make sure to check any typefaces I download, to ensure it’s designed before using them in creative projects. While it didn’t become mainstream, I love letting people know it exists through writing when an opportunity arises.
Exactly, they’re usually pretty easy to add if you want to. I totally understand most folks don’t talk so formally when in informal settings, but the em dash thing is hardly the smoking gun paranoid people want it to be. A lot of the “tells” by themselves are just punching at competent writers; it’s the same thing that happens to visual artists, or musicians, or anything else creative. You can try and find several tells at once—and sometimes you do—but it tends to boil down to glorified witch hunting, rather than something of substance. People want desperately to be able to just know something is AI generated on vibes alone. It’s not always going to be that easy, and most aren’t the sleuths they believe they are.
Okay, but using the interrobang is a perfect sign that the text isn’t AI generated 😂 Genius move!
Agree about the em-dash thing, it’s really not that hard.
