Yes, it should be quite clear from my comment that I can’t type em dashes on my phone. I only use Lemmy on my phone.
Were you to scrape my published papers–either published up until now or published before 2020–you’d see evidence that I have to forcibly edit my writing down to a rate of one or fewer em dashes per two sentences. My grad students joke about how frequently I use them.
So… what’s your point? Your only contribution to the data that I have access to is far more supportive of the position that “good punctuation means AI” than any other example in this thread.
I want to highlight that I’ve never actually said anything about what this data might indicate; any conclusions, value judgements or wild guesses as to what this data might show are entirely your own (and those assumptions should probably be examined). I don’t really care that you don’t have access to an emdash on mobile lemmy (you do btw, markdown will replace --- with an emdash), I don’t really care about this topic, I was just having fun scraping data to gently tease someone about their typing habits.
Please don’t contribute to a hostile environment where you ascribe deeper motivations to dumb comments.
