It isn’t just the dash, it’s the contrast. To max out the slop score of the sentence, you should always cram in a three item list, no matter how little sense, utility or value it holds.
I’d like a three point list about the reasons mistaking the use of tricolon, juxtaposition and dashes for slop indicators is not just stupid, but unfair to people – like myself – who’ve grown up learning the same writing style that is now being demonized.
Can we stop these useless comments please? There’s absolutely no reason to believe that is generated. At best, comments like yours give them relevance. If it’s actually slop, and you have reasonable arguments and research to back it up, then call it out! If you are just going around saying everything is AI slop (which makes your comment regular slop) then it makes the legitimate call outs look less reasonable, so please stop this.
I don’t care. You may believe that, I don’t share your opinion. I will continue posting my opinions here and other places. I wasn’t even saying that the comment was AI, just that it gave me those vibes
Does it really give you generated vibes though? Other than the em-dash (edit: not even an em-dash, which is “—”, but a double hyphen to approximate an em-dash, and generated content usually uses the actual character), it’s very contrary to generated content. Usually generated content is needlessly long and verbose, which that one isn’t.
They have been known as em dashes for longer than silicon computing has existed. I personally learned Alt+0151 in the 90s.
And what’s really funny is that I am planning on having a local LLM reword my comments to obfuscate my writing style to protect me against AI doxing, I just haven’t done it yet.
Only AI refers to it as Al, but you’re referencing both em dashes AND Al which means because em starts with the letter M and so does machine, that must mean you’re a machine learning model, learning coming from the l in the second instance in the word Al that I used, but you probably think I used the letter “l”. Ha! Got you again, that was actually an L, you absolute bumbling moron. I can’t believe you didn’t pick up on that difference because of the way you referred to Ai (this time not Al), which of course makes you a machine, but because you’re a machine and looking through your comment history, it seems like you accumulate knowledge after you are exposed to it, must mean that you’re learning. But that’s in the case where you’re a machine learning model. In this case, you’re actually a remarkably large switch case table, which in that case(reference to switch case tables) you refer to everything using a memory lookup, but again - like usual - I have you beat ------ I’m actually a rock that happened to get bumped by a hiker on a lovely sunrise hike which had me roll down the mountain until I rolled over a phone in the precise combination that allowed me to create and log into this Lemmy account for three years consistently and type out this very post to you today, exposing myself as a consciousness emulating rock when you are actually the Al and you can’t prove me false boohoo.
There’s no single point – it’s a gradual process.
Only a sith deals in absolutes
this comment sounds damn AI generated

Creating a list makes a lot of sense – the reasons for this include:
Let me know if you need any help in constructing your own three point list!

Here’s why it works: it’s effective, powerful, and useful.

This comment is obviously AI.
No, this comment sounds damn AI generated!
Well then use a different computer voice… It’s silent for me.
You sound AI generated.
Its your fault for having – on your comment – of course
Right period Who even uses punctuation question mark
AI uses em dashes, not two dashes together.
That’s because in some apps or websites they get auto converted. – -> —
I know that word used to do that, or it would do it to a single dash.
I was just being silly lol.
Being silly gets you downvotes around these parts. I collect them as badges of demonstrated silliness.
Only AI refers to them as em dashes, AI.

You’re speaking in code openly now? The AI get more brazen every day!
