Do you think that this post, by an AI company, talking about workflows for AI tools, which is structured into nested headings and bullet points, which uses the red X and green check emojis, as well as the em dash, was not written with the assistance of AI tools?
I think it contributes when people generally disparage AI and the people who abuse it. This is one way that we build up a social awareness that faking your work with AI is not okay.
I use—still—em dashes whenever I feel like they are better than commas, parentheses or semicolons.
Because that’s what they are for, and this is English after all. Some people don’t approve, and I approve of their disapproval—it’s a free country and writing is a creative process.
What doesn’t contribute are comments that discredit and disparage without adding anything to the conversation.
