Is the idea that "the kids" are so bad at grammar that they only found out about the existence of the em dash from seeing chatgpt use it? And that's why they call it the chatgpt dash?

yeah it's pretty funny, it uses them so much

i think so

also funny to me bc i used to use em dashes a lot and tried to stop since gpt uses them even more than i used to lol

My assistant says they think it's because chatgpt uses it so often that "the kids" use it as an identifier to when people are using chatgpt. Like "oh I can tell they didn't write that because it has a bunch of chatgpt dashes".

I don’t know maybe. But the idea that the em dash is a tell is complete trash. 🚮

Law school junk unnecessarily baked em dashing into my writing habits — even on social media.
