Irrelevant. As soon as the ctrl-c moment happened, all of the real effort became worthless and utterly overwhelmed by the slop in the face. I do not read LLM responses. I will stop reading any text as soon as it becomes clear it was LLM generated. If it is in a setting where I have the power to do something about it, it will be swiftly followed by a flag/ban/block/ignore/comment deletion…
If you honestly think that the em dashes are the problem, I'm sure you could tell chat to scrub those for you.

em-dashes are a symptom of the problem; they are one of the “dead giveaways” mentioned in the OP which is why I brought them up as an example of slop-scrubbing before forwarding to other humans
In such a case, I think that spending extra time to scrub the output of em-dashes or other slop is just virtue signaling that “I am man, not machine”
