think i've realized why people are concerned about sounding like an LLM it's because they use LLMs and don't want to be caught doing so

I avoid because emdashes because the bible prefers commas for long sentences: they're far less intrusive@moses_izumi @jsbarretto commas are occasionally seen as grammatically incorrect for the kind of pauses achieved by an em dash or semicolon but this is changing and will likely become fully accepted in less than a century

@hipsterelectron You're missing out—I've found em-dashes to be excellent for reducing the number of parentheses in my writings (because I digress so much (ADHD)).
@vtrlx i use em dashes frequently although i'm not sure reducing the number of parentheses is really an appropriate system of measurement as opposed to reducing the nesting of clauses more generally which unfortunately the full stop is really most appropriate to perform

@hipsterelectron "You avoid em dashes because you want to avoid sounding like an LLM, I avoid em dashes because I've no idea what key combination generates them. We are not the same"
