Is it really necessary to use GPT to write a simple comment like that?



On a Mac, you can use option-shift-dash to insert an emdash, which is muscle memory for me.

If I had used an LLM, maybe I wouldn't have misspelled "losing" not once but twice and not noticed until after the edit window. <_<


Was it necessary to post this?

FYI many input methods (including my own) turn two hyphens into an em dash. The em-dash-means-LLM thing is bogus.


Ms word does this by default


Please don't do this here. If a comment seems unfit for HN, please flag it and email us at hn@ycombinator.com so we can have a look.


You can't possibly think that using an em dash is exclusive to AI-generated output.
