Just a quick note on the screenshot. The use of the em dash alone reveals the AI origin. Similar to AI images, once you've recognized their typical characteristics, usually a quick glance is enough to recognize AI slob.

If you start correcting punctuation in this thread, you're going to be at it for a while. But you'll certainly earn a doff of the cap from me.

My browser autocomplete inserts em dashes. So do most word processors. I can’t think of any easy way not to produce em dashes. Like — this.

Sadly, to my sense of beauty at least, the em-dash is the typographic standard in English. Unlike in the screenshot, it is supposed to be used without any space either side—no matter how funny that looks. I personally prefer the n-dash flanked by half space – I reckon this looks much nicer. By English typesetting standards it is incorrect, though.

Speaking on my own behalf—I am neither artificial, nor intelligent.
