Can yall please not accuse me of using ai just because I can string a sentence together? Like, you’re right to be vigilant, but fucking seriously I used a colon. It isn’t that complicated

I like my em dash and if you wanna take it away from me, you can pry it from my cold — preferably not dead but always cold — hands.

I was a graduate student a couple years ago and found out that colons and semi-colons are tells of AI and it felt like this emoji, because i LOVE those punctuations.

People are trying to say the OXFORD COMMA is an indication of ai. It’s genuine insanity

I use semicolons but I don’t always use commas, so I never get these accusations (lucky me)

you're safe as long as you use it like that, the LLMs rarely use that sort of structure.

Unfortunately I also do the version AI likes to do. It’s not just aesthetically pleasing — it communicates rhythm and intentionality in your messages. (🤢)

I have a visceral negative reaction to reading "it's not just x — it's y" so thanks for that
