@xahteiwi@mastodon.social That usage of em-dashes means a 90% confidentiality that this post was written by an AI instead of a human. /s

@pludikovsky@chaos.social @xahteiwi@mastodon.social weird as it is, they are in fact the correct dash to use in these situations. People just use a minus sign because it's easier to type, even when they know better (myself included of course).

@pludikovsky@chaos.social @xahteiwi@mastodon.social It should be a quotation dash ― (U+2015)

@pludikovsky@chaos.social @xahteiwi@mastodon.social I know how to use my hyphens, en dashes, and em dashes and how to trivially type them on the keyboard with my compose key. AI be damned—I will continue to take full advantage of non-ASCII characters, em dashes included.
