Me at work

If you haven't heard, the em dash has been getting a lot of attention lately…

Because it was trained on pirated work—including freely accessible online writing (like fanfic, academic texts)—ChatGPT picked up patterns and quirks native to human writing.

Including (sigh) the em dash.

There are other victims here (RIP tapestry and delve 🫠), but the appropriation of the em dash—a punctuation mark beloved by writers everywhere—feels especially personal.

A kind of low-grade panic is ensuing. Writers who once memed their own em dash overuse—the greatest punctuation mark ever to grace the control-freak’s lexicon, frankly—are suddenly backing away to avoid accusations.

No. More. We have centuries of dash-abusing writers behind us. We will not sit quietly while AI repurposes our beloved stilted aside—or the just-one-more clarification the sentence demands—or the dramatic pause your comma could never—etc.

You don’t write like AI—AI writes like you.

Defend the em dash.

I am once again begging people to realize that AI checker doesn’t work. it’s never worked. it’s notoriously known to have flagged human-made works as AI and AI-generated works as human-made. and by feeding it people’s works, you are feeding more works to AI, because apparently the machine itself is AI.

the only thing AI checker does is harm genuine artists and people in general too.

RIP people who are being accused of using AI, when they're actually just good writers

When you read 'They Both Die At The End' and they actually do die at the end.

TBDATE SPOILERS

What breaks me most is the fact that they both died the same way they would have if they hadn't met each other.

Mateo would, at some point during the day, have made something to eat. Even if he'd stayed inside the whole day, he would have died from turning on the stove.

Rufus would, at some point while running from the cops, have crossed the street without looking and would have been run over by a car.

So, they both died the exact same way they would have if they never met. But they DID meet. They fell in love. And they lived for one freaking awesome day. That's their story and I don't know how to go on with life knowing this 😭😭😭

SPOILER ALERT: They Both Die At The End SPOILERS (Although the title kinda says it already)

I just finished They Both Die At The End and I couldn't for the love of all that's dear to me ever pick up the other two books of the series for 3 reasons:

1. This book wrecked me, and I'm not ready for another one. I'm still a little nauseous from Mateo's death scene. Like literally, I don't feel well from thinking about Rufus shouting at the ambulance driver to DO HIS FUCKING JOB AND BRING HIM TO THE HOSPITAL while we all know it's over...

2. I'm convinced I'll be as close and emotionally attached to the other two duos from the other books, but right now, that would feel like betrayal on my boys' side, and I can't let them go.

3. My girlfriend is honestly worried about me. She sat beside me while I read the whole thing. We're both not sure I'll survive another one.

Can someone tell me how to go on with life after reading Adam Silvera's most effective heart-wrecking device?
