edit - honestly not a troll. is it the specific formatting of "em" dashes? i know for sure we use them all the time. or at least i do. but they're just dashes to me, so..

I must be an AI, then—does that mean I should charge for a subscription when I answer a question; maybe adding an extra premium fee on top of that sub each I'm also using a semi-column in the same sentence?

I have no idea how representative these stupid remarks you mentioned are to be considered but it's interesting to realize how their own ignorance of a certain know-how/knowledge is so, so easily becoming a proof for them that the use of said tool/knowledge by other people is making those people suspicious.

In a working society, when faced with something one doesn't know, aka faced with one's own ignorance, one would see that as an opportunity to learn something new and become less ignorant. Not anymore. Following their own 'reasoning', it's now being used as a proof that the other person must be some bot/AI, that they must be something non-human and suspicious. Difference is not considered an opportunity to enrich oneself anymore, it's an anomaly.

When dumb starts defining what's 'normal'—and what's human—one better start worrying, imho.

Btw, using the 'Azerty (French alt)' keyboard layout on Linux, this poor em-dash is just a Shift+AltGr+' away—why wouldn't I want to use it?

Legal disclaimer: this comment was generated by Libb, the first French English-speaking AI that's as human-looking as anything French can be. It was trained on baguettes and wine—please, say 'cheese' in the next 20 seconds, if you don't want for Libb to give you a real French kiss.

Bowing in front of the one-person cheering crowd.

I just realized, you did not say 'cheese'? Come closer ;)

[–] toy_boat_toy_boat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

um.. cheese?

why do i feel like you wear masks in private?

[–] Libb@jlai.lu 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

um… cheese?

Wait? What? You were not supposed to say... Well, ok. Fine. Doesn't matter. I will have another glass of wine instead.

why do i feel like you wear masks in private?

I don't know (and I don't know probably because I don't wear one and neither do I wear a mask in public btw, save when I have a cold) but I would like to know.

All things must come to an end, even the most beautiful stories. Plus, to be 100% honest with you, I just met that cute Dutch cheese lover...

I will take that as a compliment ;)
