What was it with em dash?
People usually don't type embdash, just use regular dash (minus sign) they have already on the keyboard. ChatGPT uses emdash instead.
Microsoft Word at least used to autocorrect two dashes to a single em dash, so I have plenty of old Word documents kicking around with em dashes.

The '—' gave it away. No one types this character on purpose.
I absolutely bloody do -- though more commonly as a double dash when not at the keyboard -- and I'm so mad it was cargo-culted into the slop machines as a superficial signifier of literacy.

Hey don't hate on us humans who genuinely do open random PRs to random projects to fix typos. https://github.com/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Ahenrebotha+archi...
I’d love to know what your genuine motivation is. Is it a desire to genuinely improve projects? Because I’ve always had the impression that people who do this just want to boost their PR counts and GitHub activity numbers.
I used to do this when I had more free time and I did it because I just enjoy doing it. When I write it down like this I realise it sounds kind of obvious, but here we are

The user is now expressing sarcasm.
You're absolutely right, based on the tenor of the previous message exchange, it is likely that brap is indeed sarcastically responding to gryfft. Do you want me to explain the mechanics of this interaction?

Unfortunately that seems to be the norm now – people literally reduce themselves to a copy-paste mechanism.
This resonates a lot with some observations I drafted last week about "AI Slop" at the workplace.
Overall, people are making a net-negative contribution by not having a sense of when to review/filter the responses generated by AI tools, because either (i) someone else is required to make that additional effort, or (ii) the problem is not solved properly.
This sounds similar to a few patterns I noted
- The average length of documents and emails has increased.
- Not alarmingly so, but people have started writing Slack/Teams responses with LLMs. (and it’s not just to fix the grammar.)
- Many discussions and brainstorms now start with a meeting summary or transcript, which often goes through multiple rounds of information loss as it’s summarized and re-expanded by different stakeholders. [arXiv:2509.04438, arXiv:2401.16475]
