Hiding here.

Life lately has been like cartoon. I am running around without a second lag in thinking, if I look down once I will definitely fall. But If I push myself with closed eyes, I can probably run over cliffs and oceans.

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.

My father is good with quick math, he is unbelievably disciplined and determined. Of all the other beautiful things he has, I inherited nothing but his one toxic trait of 'articulately using the most hurtful words when I'm mad, hurt or scared'.

Which part of the brain should I probe to make myself understand "Guilt can't save me from karma"
