> So anything that has em dashes is now considered LLM generated?

Is that what they said? If that's not what they said, why are you putting words in their mouth in an attempt to weaken their statement into some completely ridiculous stupid strawman that is obviously not actually what they said?

That’s the first thing others point to being LLM-generated. If you see, right after the phrase you quote, there is a question as to what else OP thinks is LLM-generated. I didn’t put words into anyones mouth

> [em-dashes are] the first thing others point to being LLM-generated

this isn't true and hasn't been true for a while

> I didn’t put words into anyones mouth

literally read your first sentence again, and notice the word "others"

Substitute for em dashes the inaccurate AI signal du jour. Then consider not posting about whether something is AI or not.

I have seen many human-generated M-dashes, tortured analogies, and 'not x but y' phrasing. I have never seen a human refer to the shape of code.
