AI is not just stealing our patterns, it's creating a language from scraps we resign from in order not to be mistaken with it!

Supposedly it's because there are a lot of them in the Bible, and since they use it as a training source, the AI just leans into them.
I got started using — because the golems in Guild Wars 2 speak in all caps and with em dashes between the words.
I had to copy-paste after doing Alt+0151 somewhere else when doing the joke when using a golem transformation tonic and SPEAKING—LIKE—THIS since Guild Wars 2 does not respond to numpad input, but Mac users have it easy, they can just press Option+Shift+dash.
On Windows, you would need a tool like PowerToys' keyboard manager or a keyboard macro for that.
I didn't even know what an em dash was until all this stuff about a.i. using them came up. I've certainly encountered them, but didn’t know the name. I've been using hyphens all this time for much the same purpose, but now I'm going to start using em dashes instead.
Intentionally meke typos.

I've used double hyphens for em dashes, because I've never bothered to figure out how to do it in Linux. I was a graphic designer for many years, and had a bunch of ASCII Alt codes memorized, but they don't work in Linux, for whatever reason. I don't really need them anymore, so I haven't worried about it. So, I suppose the double hyphens shows I'm human, and definitely not a robot.

Why would I stop using them? All I hear is that I need to be using AI. What's the point of using it if I have to hide the fact I'm using it.
