It's even funnier when they replace "––" with "-" to look like they wrote it. And the post is full of rhetorical questions, dashes, and "its not just ___, it's ___" . Special shoutout to "– because" and using 3 adjectives where 1 will do. My eyes are burning
Collected another one: rhetorical questions. AI posts almost always have one or more. Examples from this morning's flurry of LinkedIn messages about Meta acquiring Scale.

Double whammy. Nobody actually speaks like this. I already lost em-dashes, I don't want to lose "not only, but also"

Oh you’re still reading 2D books…?. (Highly recommend House of Leaves)
Oh you’re still listening to two-dimensional music? Heh. That’s cute, I guess, if you like your music from a simple flat plane. Me, I’ve moved WAY past it.

Who is working on this? When galactic football? I bet the Saudis would fund it

I haven't quite put my finger on what it means. But it's weird to me how often people say "my brain does X" rather than "I do X". .

Em dashes are the obvious "AI wrote this" (––). Another one I'm seeing all the time is "Not only ___ but also ___" or "It's not just ___, it's ____". It's exhausting to keep reading these phrases in job applications/LinkedIn posts/support emails.

I just realised the guy in Midnight Train to Georgia by Gladys Knight & the Pips was definitely trying to get away from her. And she completely missed the message.

Huge congrats to the teams! 🚀 Now the fun begins 🦅🇺🇸. Michael and I stood on that stage last Oct. EF strapped a rocketship to our backs and now we're shipping in SF. Could be you in 12 weeks time. Or if you want to join the next paypal mafia, we're at Toolkit. Message me ;).
We’re proud to announce our April Demo Day for the latest cohort of founders. Over the past 12 weeks, these exceptional individuals from around the world have been busy building in SF. It’s now time to LAUNCH. Further details to follow.

Told a warmie to not go gentle into that good night and he raged, raged against the dying of the light. Even pinned a medal on him. But in the end he’s just another frozen husk on Europa’s desolate, war-torn surface.

Jiankui He: “Tinkering with human embryos will certainly be worth the risk.”. Great great grandson of the first genetically engineered subzero soldier deployed to the endless ice war on Europa:
the broader implications of the ice war are lost on me. I'm just here to kill and kill and kill.

I just *know* I would’ve invented deposit accounts and book-entry transfers if I was born before the Bank of Amsterdam in 1609. It’s so easy: debit from this guy, credit to that guy.
