New Discord clone ("Harmony") with a suspiciously AI-looking website, a single contributor, and blistering development = AI. Took me a minute to find it but it looks like they were scrubbed from a few places ~3 weeks ago.

You're right to push back β€” this does appear to be AI generated.

$ git clone https://github.com/y4my4my4m/harmony && grep -R "//.*β€”" harmony | wc -l 17 17 em dashes in comments... yeah that's slop

I've been using an em-dash for ages. Now people think I'm either a bot or use an AI to write for me. This is ridiculous.

I think you could use -o instead of regex? not sure :D

$ git clone https://github.com/y4my4my4m/harmony && grep -Ro "β€”" harmony | wc -l

You use em-dashes in code comments? It has its place in regular prose, but a comment is not a novel

It's alright. As far as Matrix clients go, I like Sable. But Fluxer is on another level, I've really been enjoying it.

Fluxer has a permissive LLM policy, it’s why I chose Stoat over it.

Definetly not in code comments. I mean in general.

It's not the em-dashes, it's the feelings we have about them. Concern, trepidation, confusion. We don't need to stop using them, we need to take a breath. generated by the slopinator 5000

Well Stoat has been in development limbo for the last decade and has no plans for federation.

Em dashes in comments though?

I guess that's a fair point, Matrix is also an option if federation is important.

I think you could use -o instead of regex? not sure :D $ git clone https://github.com/y4my4my4m/harmony && grep -Ro "β€”" harmony | wc -l

The regex is to match only em dashes in comments (following a //). If you want to search for all em dashes you can just do that (though there's no need for the -o since grep matches lines and wc -l counts lines).

If someone hasn't already tried that, they will.

And grep -c spares the wc -l
