I was recently asked to review a book - and it rapidly became clear that it was AI generated. The em dashes were a clue not just because they existed, but how they were used. Which is to say, poorly. Egregiously and dare I say, juicelessly.
But even without them, the text had no juice.
@ericsmithrocks.bsky.socialPeople posting about how they’ve never seen em dashes used before the rise of ChatGPT are really great at telling folks they’ve never read a book before.
