I think i’ve seen more people use “-” in emails and what have you more within the past year than ever before and it makes me wonder “did they use chatgpt to write this?”
or I’ve had project managers on jobs I’m consulting for use “final thoughts:” in docs/emails and I know for a fact they didn’t write it. When you use AI pretty much daily for your job like I do you can spot people using it from a mile away. Blog posts, game/movie/book reviews, proposals, emails, etc everyone is using it. Hell you can spot it here on Lemmy and on Reddit very easily. it’s harder to find actual real person written content these days then AI content.
I know my product managers don’t use chatGTP because they end all sentences with ..., every damn time. And I’m fairly sure their habit developed independently, given that one of them is from a relatively recent purchase of a company.

and if they use EM Dashes? 100% it’s AI.
cries in using emdashes since years before LLMs existed
Edit: misspoke, AI doesn’t exist
Sorry to disappoint you, but I regularly use em dashes. (It’s ALT+0151 on PC.)
Remember that the models do model on the writings of actual people. They’re just regurgitating it really badly.
Applications such as Exchange/Outlook turn a double dash to an em dash when you type it. I’ve used them for a couple decades.
Oh, that’s kinda useful to know. Thanks.
Libre office always extends my - - - little dashes - - -
I used dashes for decades. I’ve removed all of them all since ChatGPT became popular. It doesnt help that I think ChatGPT overuses them.
This isn’t even ai in itself, it’s roughly similar to the axios smart brevity format. So many business communications work like this today.
