It's neat that the "I built a...." software slop-slingers can't even use their human fingers to write the social media post telling people about it.

I enjoy writing — the creativity, the process, the result — and I'm saddened when my works are skipped due to an assumption of it just being AI.
So I built a place to link to — for you and for me — that states very clearly:

If you see an em-dash ("—") online, it means you're reading
a post from someone who cares deeply about typography and effective communication;
copy that went through an editorial-review process at a publisher; or
text generated by an AI-model that was instructed to recognise an em-dash in its training material as a sign of more dependable, authoritative writing.
It's a shame that no.3 has drowned out the others in ignorant "How to spot AI !!!" influencer posts—the em-dash is a useful bit of punctuation.

Tried Pangram. Turns out LLM text detectors are as stupid as LLMs. On a text that I know was written by humans it reports "35% AI" with the passages that have EM dashes highlighted.
FFS, that dash is just proper typography that humans use when they give a shit and know a bit about writing (and possibly are a little OCD). Half the technical documentation I wrote 20 years ago has EM dashes and I had to come up with all that waffle by myself.
Stupid world is getting stupider.

Claude Opus 4.8 has quite a few annoying quirks, and it's important to be precise about which ones, because this is the typical claim that needs to be substantiated by facts rather than hinted at. This is not just uncanny — it's painful to look at.

Remember when em-dashes were just punctuation?
Now they’re slop-watermarks.
You can’t read anything online anymore without seeing them lined up like little forensic clues:
“Here’s the thing—”
“Let me explain—”
“The future is—”The em-dash used to mean:
“Ah, a stylish writer.”Now it means:
“This paragraph was assembled in 0.8 seconds by a stochastic parrot that thinks every sentence needs the cadence of a TED Talk delivered during a hostage situation.”We’ve reached the phase of the internet where punctuation itself has become a tell. Like digital fingerprints left at the scene of a content crime.
Soon literary critics are gonna write:
“Early 2020s prose is characterized by emotional support em-dashes, vacant aphorisms, and the overwhelming sensation that the author has a podcast microphone somewhere nearby.”The em-dash died for AI’s sins.

The Space Between is more than a Dave Matthews song. It's how Romantic writing evolved from contiguous strings.

"James Joyce preferred it to quotation marks, which he sneered at as 'perverted commas.' Nabokov — maestro of almost every punctuation mark — deployed it like a jazz musician. Faulkner, Fitzgerald, Plath, Zadie Smith: all on its side.”
I'm with Kev here — I'm with him in everything he says here.
