    You’re not getting downvoted for the LLM thing. You’re getting downvoted for doubling down on a stupid argument. Em dashes – and en dashes for that matter – have legitimate uses in the English language. One symptom does not make a diagnosis. English is barely a respectable language in the first place. Dumbing it down even further to satisfy your preconceptions is, simply, stupid.

        Anti-intellectualism as a defence. Nice. Abandon grammar and take language where an LLM can’t follow. Surely we’ll be able to tell a text written by a human from one written by a machine if the human writes it like a dumbass, I can’t see anything wrong with that. i mean why even use proper punctuation and capitalization an ai wouldnt write sumthin like dis isnnnt it better you can tell a human wrote dis

        Have I made my point?
