Chatgpt ass answer lmao
haha yeah, I knew it at the "let's break it down:"
I was like.. I know this voice....
"Conclusion:" was the final nail in the coffin
The motivation to do so confuses me. There's no karma to farm here.
It's still providing a correct explanation to people, I guess
Why not? Here upvotes do the same as karma in reddit. Absolutely nothing.
Eh. On Reddit, karma was intended as an indicator of quality and authenticity. It was heavily flawed and abused by bots and propagandists.
Got it right though
The © gave it away
That's whatever browser or app you're using. It rendered as (c) for me... Bracket, c, bracket
Well, parenthesis, and parenthesis, but yes
Parentheses can also be called (round) brackets, especially in the UK
ah, TIL, thanks

The em dash is a dead giveaway as well
I try to use em dashes when I can, but I think they're used wrong in the comment above (IIRC they're not supposed to be surrounded by spaces, but I could be wrong). What tips me off is the unambiguously "LLM" narrative voice and structure ("let's break it down", followed by an ordered list). Not that a human can't type that, but sometimes it seems like ChatGPT is incapable of spitting out words in any other structure.
You’re right, en dashes would have been fine there. Em dashes don’t get spaced—and have specific grammatical uses too.
counter—point ; noone will accuse u of being a Ai if your grammer is shitte in a precise mannor , thou they will gouge ther I:s out when trying to reed it
actually come to think of it, aren't homophones/alternate spellings a pretty good way to avoid AI stuff? since they have absolutely no concept of the sounds words make. though i suppose it'll only work until the models get trained on that data..
I used to use em dashes all the time and now I find myself rethinking my writing styles because of people like you and it’s obnoxious.
AI has put me off writing lists.
Y'all have got to stop this shit. Real people use real grammar.
I use em dashes all the time, but I don’t put a space on either side—I feel like that’s not the correct way to use one. If it is, I don’t wanna be correct.
I concur with this.
Heyo yee em—comrade
Can't tell if serious because entering ( c ) without the spaces is (c) in Firefox and other browsers.
Is it because the other letters don't have brackets? I don't use AI to know if that is a thing.
(c)
(c):O
