Their findings, published in the Journal of Holography Applications in Physics, go beyond simply suggesting that we’re not living in a simulated world like The Matrix. They prove something far more profound: the universe is built on a type of understanding that exists beyond the reach of any algorithm.



Okay, I hate to be “that guy” but the over use of “—” in the writing next to certain phrases like “not X, but something more, something deeper, it’s Y”. Makes this article look 100% AI written to me. Like, I’m more than reasonable certain it is just copy pasted AI. Someone will need to prove to me that it isn’t at this point.
My guy, the reason AI uses so many em dashes is because it was trained on proper writing that properly uses appropriate punctuation. Those of us who know how to write have been using em dashes, semicolons, parenthetical statements and more for decades longer than AI has been around. You could very well be reading the work of a journalist who actually knows how to write rather than stringing together Twitter posts into an article.
We know, this is not an attack on em dashes.
It’s still ai slop.
I use em dashes all the time myself, I also make this critique and people always respond with a defence of em dashes.
Its the use patterns on how and when they are used combined with other patterns that makes it evident that it is AI. Its just the most easily recognisable tell. When you see over use of em dashes in a an article online, you check for those other tells.
Well the images are already dumb AI slop. I don’t know who the article is for but the images scream “don’t think about me!”. For me it’s hard to take it seriously at that point.
