>the weird AI dash thing is because indians love using the dash
>>
>>107608887
You mean the em- and en-dash?
Better theory I've heard is that the LLMs were trained on a shit load of published material including journal articles, conference proceedings, doctoral dissertations, masters thesis(es?). All of which have a certain style that includes the use of the em- and en-dash.

>>107609054
IDK I'm not indian so I use a semicolon or a comma instead of the indian dash
>>
>>107608887
You could just tell it not to use em dashes in your prompt
>>
>>107608887
And the reason for the verbosity is the reinforced feedback was trained by Kenyans.
>>
>>107609187
I think the fact it's trained off indians is bad enough

Whenever I google literally any random topic like "what is vocaloid" and the autofill suggestions go "what is vocaloid in hindi" "what is vocaloid in telugu"

It's that.
I'm autistic and use em dashes quite a bit when writing formally. I love the semicolon and used to use brackets and parentheses when growing up. As I got older I fell out of the habit retaining the bracket only for defining acronyms and defining sarcasm in text; sometimes I still use a good old (!) like they do on teletext.
Otherwise, when formally writing I'll use it, when a sentence breaks up into 3 parts but it's an aside in the middle of a sentence. That's purely so they understand the pause should be there rather than adding a comma, forever, and, ever— the oxford comma exists for a reason after all— and unless it's the end of a sentence the semi-colon is better in general; with the semicolon having a more defines ruleset for use.
What I almost never do however is use it at the end of a sentence in place of a semicolon as that's a vibe based writing and while it's not an incorrect use... it is in a lot of publications be it medical, a romance novel from the 50's or some cunt in the times.

I had a government worker get triggered over an em dash this month. They assumed because I was verbose, autistic and I used it correctly to avoid using a semicolon 3 sentences in a row that I must have used generative AI to write it. Well joke's on them: they didn't parse the paragraph properly because of their massive, gaping, literacy issues.
FUCK EM ALL

In case you're concerned this was written by AI and not some retard who just woke up
>unless it's the end of a sentence the semi-colon is better in general; with the semicolon having a more defines ruleset for use.
I would hope that a bot wouldn't accidentally add the hyphen in out of habit.

>uses indian dashes and the bong comma
either your indian, autistic, a homo or all 3
>>
>>107608887
the em dash is due to academic writing retard

>I'm autistic
I wonder which it is...
Crippling autism looks fun to the outsider only because they don't have to live with the consequences.
>>
>>107609315
the bong comma is for homos
>>
>>107609054
Apparently that's very common. It's weird because I personally always preferred to use semicolons for that purpose.
>>
>>107609334
>bong comma
british?
>>
>>107609404
where do you think oxford is?
>>
>>107609289
If you use em dashes unironically you're a pedantic dipshit or an LLM-hugging jeet. In either case your opinion should be discarded.
