            To dictate, maybe. But he’s not asking Grok “give me an extensive rant with very obscure 1990s entrainment industry name dropping calling Bill Maher a loser.”

        tl;dr: spaces around em-dash tell nothing about text being LLM-generated

        Non-tl;dr ahead:

        Shouldn’t em dash be not surrounded by spaces—like this—as per grammatical | punctuational | formatting | typography rules? I’ve always tried to use em-dash as seen fit (at first relying on some websites to turn two consecutive hyphens – like here – into one. Though at first I didn’t even notice, and now actively despise how it looks like without spaces, so mostly use it like in the post — here is an example. LLMs are supposedly good at these writing things, as I’ve heard.

        Did a little web search and yeeeeeeeeeah. Apparently there exist “styles” which suggest both variants, with the more general rule just being consistent. At least for English. In my language spaces are required (except between dates), so apparently it’s not so much about personal preference.

        So yeeeeah, it actually tells nothing about this rambling being AI-generated, LLMs (looked through my usage too) use both variants. Sorry if I wasted your (reader) time, hope you learned a little along the way.

        Still won’t read original post.

        The em dash is weird but an LLM would have produced a coherent and clean text, not something like “I never watch his show” followed by three paragraphs of how he watches his show (quick read, I didn’t actually read the rant), with digressions, random capitalized nouns and typos like DESPARATELY

        I’m guessing iPhone autocorrect? Maybe if you type two dashes consecutively it writes the em dash?

          It really wouldn’t be hard to tell an LLM to write like he xeets. You have half of the prompt done already in your comment. I’m betting it’s slop.

      Wait until the midterms are done. Trump croaking before election day might give the GOP an undeserved boost.

        It would also mean that Vance is restricted to being elected to one term after this one. If Vance takes office before January 20 at noon, it counts as a term for him because it will be just over 2 years.
