    Mm. Same on the em-dashes.

    Hopefully one of the only ways I&#x27;m in a top-10-HackerNews-user list is #7 user of em-dashes before ChatGPT was relased: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gally.net&#x2F;miscellaneous&#x2F;hn-em-dash-user-leaderboard.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gally.net&#x2F;miscellaneous&#x2F;hn-em-dash-user-leaderbo...

    I guess one irony is that while there&#x27;s many people here bemoaning LLMs as &quot;nondeterministic&quot;, for prose in general it would be much better if they acted like such complainers meant rather than the non-determinism being in such a narrow band as to be an instant cliché.
