Why so many negative comments on this? I find it cool. I showed this to my son and he absolutely loved it. The author is clearly a fan and this by no means is a production-grade product. Just someone tinkering in their free time and gave the DIY guide away for free. I just don’t understand the negativity.

I speak as I think and I type and as I speak, so I do uses em-dashes. It’s a shame that it’s now a brand of low quality AI-generated content.

How do you even do an em dash? I don't even thing I've got that on my keyboard

I was downvoted a few weeks ago for making this exact point. Humans can and do use em-dashes occasionally, but given that you have to go digging for the key combination, you're not using it every 3rd sentence like every AI model does.

I'm typing from a phone and it's just a long press on the - button to get — to appear. How about if you're not foreign, how do you get æ to appear. It seems quite special to get € or ¥ to apper if all you've got is $ but why should your inability too do something hold back everyone else?

o_O am I missing something?

Did you show them the github repo, or the disappointing 5 second video of chat gpt from twitter?

I was excited too until I saw it actually running and was like… huh. ChatGPT for tablet. Righto.

What was your son so impressed by?

For Windows it's Win+Shift+"-".

I suspect it is more common to see in papers as you can type it with just "--" in LaTeX.

Wait, who was the unpaid servant? I don't remember the sandwich bit.

https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoBestFriendsPlay/s/W88nHchQti Seems to be this one. The unpaid servant is Kreacher.

Oh I forgot about Kreacher, I thought they meant Dobby. The whole thing is bizarre, Harry is so intent on freeing Dobby but then he's fine with every other house elf being a slave. They didn't even care about Hermione's initiative.
