@watery-melon-baller thanks for the tag! (on a day when Tumblr decided to break reblogs...)

My hair color varies by season and lighting, so sometimes it looks more dark blonde and sometimes it looks more light brown, but it's pretty reliably almost always in a messy bun. I'm not sure where they are (and my ears closed up after the start of the pandemic), but I used to have acorn earrings for an Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Halloween costume.

Every time you leave kudos on one of my fics, you’ll get one of these messages:

Because it was trained on pirated work—including freely accessible online writing (like fanfic, academic texts)—ChatGPT picked up patterns and quirks native to human writing.

Including (sigh) the em dash.

There are other victims here (RIP tapestry and delve 🫠), but the appropriation of the em dash—a punctuation mark beloved by writers everywhere—feels especially personal.

A kind of low-grade panic is ensuing. Writers who once memed their own em dash overuse—the greatest punctuation mark ever to grace the control-freak’s lexicon, frankly—are suddenly backing away to avoid accusations.

No. More. We have centuries of dash-abusing writers behind us. We will not sit quietly while AI repurposes our beloved stilted aside—or the just-one-more clarification the sentence demands—or the dramatic pause your comma could never—etc.

You don’t write like AI—AI writes like you.

Defend the em dash.
