AI can pry Oxford commas and em dashes from my cold, lifeless, and dead hands—and I dare someone to say something to me about it
"Oxford commas are a sign you write with ai" I will find such a unique way to rip out your spine that they'll make a movie about it

I’m not changing the way l’ve written for 20 years because of an AI witch hunt, and this is yet one more reason that LLMs can DIAF.

75' 2-0, Milan Iloski.
Gets it on the right, dashes into the box, and Chicago's entire defense expects a pass so he takes it himself.

using em dashes—
not for flair—
but because they interrupt
and pause like my brain
also—
you don’t like them
so now they feel fire

with the deepest love: if you’re genuinely concerned someone might read your work and think Spicy Autocomplete wrote it, your problem isn’t em dashes, it’s ideas
all this omg if you use these words ppl will think you use chatgpt! Omg stop using emdashes. Excuse, I will use whatever the hell I want. Writers wrote whatever they wanted and this machine gobbled it all up and now we can't use words and punctuation because the machine spits it out? Absurd.

listen, I didn't stop listening to Nirvana when they started selling the smiley face shirts at Urban Outfitters; I'm not gonna stop using em-dashes just because chatGPT uses them

I keep getting accused of being AI in my own emails because I use em dashes. Like I always have. It’s so frustrating.

Hills Upon Which I Often Die:
• Oxford Commas
• Em Dashes
• Single Spaces Between Sentences With Variable-Width Fonts

I won't wade into the marsh in which this conversation is currently going on, but I'm happy to note that the first thing a twenty-first-century publishing entity does on receipt of a manuscript and to prepare it for eventual publication is to yank out every single double space after a period.

You'll take my Oxford commas and my em dashes from my cold, dead hands. They absolutely are not indications of genAI.

God between this and the em dashes.
All. AI. Does. Is steal from humans. So it uses what humans use. Trying to read tea-leaves like this is a dead-end. Don't Lizzie Proctor people for their writing. THEY are the ones being imitated by AI.

My work requires Oxford commas and em dashes and I hate that AI has made that appear as anything other than the work I'm literally supposed to be doing, and people actually believe it.
