    God, it’s like people have never used markdown before. Every time I:

    • list some bullet points

    Or

    Use Headings

    It’s an instant accusation that the text was AI generated.

    Em dashes alone aren’t a sign of AI—I use them all the time

    Though I also swear a lot so I haven’t had many direct accusations yet

    Of note, a double hyphen – is often converted to an em dash by the application displaying it.

    any example of “It’s not XXX/It’s…”?? I do not use AI, I can understand the emdash, but not the later :/

      Most of the time the LLM version isn’t the one there. It’s “It’s not only XXXX, it’s YYYY.”

      Also I noticed I almost wrote exactly the same pattern as the one OP pointed out.

      To showcase it, I prompted chatgpt to write me a few paragraphs on the importance of radio astronomy.

      I already thought it somehow stopped doing that, but then, in the conclusion, it wrote:

      In short, radio astronomy doesn’t just fill in the gaps of our cosmic knowledge—it opens entirely new windows into the universe.

      Which follows the same pattern.
