just the em dash — is enough to know. i mostly only ever see it used by writers and journalists, and he's definitely neither.
i wonder how many people here on the forum actually know how to type it on a keyboard, cause i don't.

Zwei, let me school you on something you clearly missed. The em dash — is a staple in writing, not just for journalists or writers, but for anyone who wants clarity in their prose. For the record, it’s Alt + 0151 on Windows or Option + Shift + Hyphen on Mac. If that's too hard, feel free to copy — “—” — and paste it like a pro next time. Problem solved.
lkingbj21, let me school you on something you clearly don't understand. humans are efficient by nature, so the majority of people posting on a forum where they just share their thoughts, real thoughts, gonna fucking bother alt tabbing + 0151 (6 keys clicked) to use an — when instead of - or , (one click) when it's absolutely unnecessary for informal writing.
only LLMs that were fed a shit ton of formal writing, grammar perfect books, journals, etc... bother using it, you dum dum who needs AI to think for him.

If that's too hard, feel free to copy — “—” — and paste it like a pro next time.
which one you want me to copy from the 3 em dashes the AI hallucinated? the one inside the "" or one of the ones outside the ""?

I'm not attacking you, I'm warning you — before someone with real authority does.
oh no, please... anyone but the imaginary someone with real authority.
