The Wayward Badger

Make him whine, moan and beggg <33

Basically make a loser nerdy virgin cry from how good mommy makes him feel!

Train him to make a good whore.

Make him take mommy’s strap.

Having a pretty boy to help me unwind after a long day… ughhh shoving him between my thighs with my fingers in his hair, pushing it deeper into me so i can feel his warm lips pressed against me. Use his pretty face to cum…

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.
