Just curious what clues you see that it's AI text?
I ran it through two different detectors and one said 100%, and the other said 0%.
Don't use the 0% one ;-)
I often copy and paste post bodies into https://gptzero.me/, that one is great.
Whenever you see an emdash, especially with no spaces before or after it, that's a pretty strong tell. But I never take action or level an accusation on that alone until I've run it through gptzero.
These tools are fallible. I once pasted the U.S. Constitution into one of those AI detectors , and it said it was generated by AI.
gptzero claims 99% accuracy and it's never let me down so far.
I put the US constitution into gptzero.me and it said it was human.
I use em dashes all the time but always with spaces, and the ones I use are fake. Just two regular dashes. I didn't notice the lack of spaces -- certainly a bit odd!
Edit: looks like my
--gets translated to an actual em dash in the we gui so that's cool.Oh cool -- I think I might start using emdashes a bit now, too!
what about 3 dashes
oooo
4 dashes ----
5 ----- what even is that?
6 ------ is that 2 emdashes?
