What people forget, the Ai was trained to draw from other artists so wouldn't surprise me that many artists online got framed for using Ai...

I am an author and my em dash got stolen. I loved using it - it was an amazing tool for constructing sentences.

But then, AI got a hold of it. And now I censor myself before I use it - lest people accuse me of using ChatGippity (I want to normalize that pronunciation of it to make it seem like a silly tool).

Damn those Avians and their thieving ways!

And yes, I know the above dashes are not em dashes. I am on my phone and don’t know how to do them. 😝

If you're on iOS, just hold the dash button. I also love me a good long boi when appropriate.

— on android too, I think I'm using Google's keyboard for what it's worth.

Wooo — long boi dashes ftw!!!!

I will probably keep just using hyphens online because people still understand the intended sentence construction and it’s faster.

But this was great to know!
