@willfrancis24: Why does AI like ChatGPT and Claude love em dashes? What are they and how should we use them? All your questions answered! From the origins of the em dash on the printing presses, through its use in history to the present day where it's one of three dashes we use in the English language. And yet, it's become a telltale sign that someone used ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini to write. #ai #aiwriting #chatgpt #claude #artificialintelligence #technology #learnontiktok

Thanks, but you didn’t answer your question. Why does AI use it?

Simple message on an AI chat. "Store in memory - do not use email dashes" works a treat

It sucks because I love using dashes. I've had to move to using commas like a damn barbarian

I have used dashes for years - so have i been using hyphens incorrectly when I should have been using em dashes?

The em dash is named for its width, which is approximately the same as the uppercase letter M, and the en dash is named for its width, which is approximately the same as the uppercase letter N

I used those dashes long before AI. Its only a sign you used AI if it becomes excessive. Otherwise its called good writing.
