    Right? He doesn’t even know what they are, and while an Em Dash isn’t a guarantee of AI, anyone who is at all concerned about people thinking their writing is AI now avoid them.

    So if this isn’t AI, its someone who failed to think things through. (But its AI.)

    Sidenote: wouldn’t be surprised at all if Em Dashes leave our human lexicon altogether, given the negative association they’ve received. Like spelling changes, AI might just make our writing drift away from them altogether, until AI does get exclusive use of it.

    If the post was made by AI, wouldn’t it be…better? Unless it was prompted to write in this “style.”

      Well if you want to do that then you need to stop the things you’re doing contrary to that 🤣

        You didn’t even mention that m-dash in there. As much as I dislike attributing m-dashes to AI, that was a dead-giveaway that Trump didn’t write this.

        I think that an AI would’ve done a better job of making it sound like Trump.

            Definitely it’s best attempt to match Donald trump.

            Well, its best given the shitty prompt I’m sure it was given. “Be Donald trump, but make sure you’re understandable and don’t start unnecessary fights”, or something like that.

              So he wants to get other countries to bring their business here but also wants the foreign experts to piss off after teaching the US citizens how to do their jobs. He also, in the same post, tells them how the US will then beat them at their own game after they need to be taught how to play because they couldn’t figure it out on their own.

              I’ll rewrite it for whoever actually wrote this: “We suck, and we can’t build talent domestically. The plan is to get foreigners(who, I would like to remind everyone, we do not want here longterm) to teach us how to do things because we cannot understand it on our own. Then we will quickly become better than them somehow.”

                Is it even possible to write like Trump without adding fuel to the fire that this post is trying to quell?

                  Such a shame – I love a good em dash. Gives a conversational tone while looking much better than ellipses.

                    As a former designer/typesetter/typographer, it pains me to admit that this is probably the case.

                    I’m no designer or typesetter, but I join you in mourning the em-dash.

                        I never used them that often. A standard “-” tends to do me just fine.

                        But it’s always a shame to be able to convey less in the same amount of characters.

                            I use em dashes more—as much as I can justify—because the hubbub made me think about them.

                            “Trump” is definitely AI here though.
