    Pretty sure this is AI generated text. I notice this thing where chatgpt uses a dash - instead of a comma,

      Agreed, that and T-Rump wouldn’t know what the word “atrophied” means.

      Yeah and it’s an em dash, not the regular hyphen on the keyboard (as you’ve used). ChatGPT does like a good em dash. Also is it true that trump can’t actually read? That time starmer gave him the letter from king Charles, he looked at it blankly before giving it back and asking starmer to read it. That really gave me “I can’t read” vibes.

        I really hate how em-dashes are now being used as an AI indicator. I’m old—old enough to know how to use them—and have enjoyed the last couple decades of touch keyboards making it easy to type them.

        Now i have to stop using them again because some stupid regurgitation machine starts overusing them…

          How old would that be? I’m 38, I just had to look it up on the Internet a couple decades ago to know how to use them, and have used them on occasion since.

          Now i have to stop using them

          Nah, keep using language correctly. Don’t bend to AI. Then it will have won a war it didn’t even take part in.

          Why should you stop? I prefer to use em dashes (when I’m on my PC. I used to know the alt code for it). I’m not going to stop using them. By the way, I put spaces around my em dashes, but I notice you (and ChatGPT) don’t. Now I have to look up which is correct.
