I spot an em dash. Can't even use his own words to go on an unhinged rant about someone he doesn't like

You know people, especially olds, used the emdash before ChatGPT ruined it for us all.

I can only imagine this as dictation and speech-to-text, cleaned up by this week's press person.

Took one glance at this TFDR word blob and thought "There's no way this geriatric wrote all of that himself". Clicked on the image and, what do you know, there's an em-dash in the second, rambling, sentence. Cool. I think I hate mecha-Hitler's dementia vomit as much as the original's.

Money says Natalie takes notes all day, compiles these thing and prints them for Trump's approval.

In any case, he writes very few of his own posts. Turns out having advancing dementia kinda hurts one's ability to reason and type.

tl;dr: spaces around em-dash tell nothing about text being LLM-generated

Non-tl;dr ahead:

Shouldn't em dash be not surrounded by spaces—like this—as per grammatical | punctuational | formatting | typography rules? I've always tried to use em-dash as seen fit (at first relying on some websites to turn two consecutive hyphens -- like here -- into one. Though at first I didn't even notice, and now actively despise how it looks like without spaces, so mostly use it like in the post — here is an example. LLMs are supposedly good at these writing things, as I've heard.

Did a little web search and yeeeeeeeeeah. Apparently there exist "styles" which suggest both variants, with the more general rule just being consistent. At least for English. In my language spaces are required (except between dates), so apparently it's not so much about personal preference.

So yeeeeah, it actually tells nothing about this rambling being AI-generated, LLMs (looked through my usage too) use both variants. Sorry if I wasted your (reader) time, hope you learned a little along the way.

Still won't read original post.

I know it’s a shitpost but am I going to be only one to point out its truth social? It’s the red tick, not the blue tick. I saw that and didn’t even need to read it.

It would also mean that Vance is restricted to being elected to one term after this one. If Vance takes office before January 20 at noon, it counts as a term for him because it will be just over 2 years.

Between midterms and 1/20, all of the Etsy witches will be working overtime.

Ask AI to summarize it and you'll take down a data center.

No thanks, i don't even want the shorter version.

Bold of you to assume he reads anything that comes across the desk

Natalie's a special case. She compiles his bullshit day and night, writes a post, gets permission to send it. No, Trump can't effectively read, and he couldn't before the dementia took hold, but at least he was considered "literate", albeit at a low level.

It's confusing. I totally read it like the person you're responding to at first, then after your comment I instantly knew what OP meant. It's like a rorsarch test or that blue gold dress thing haha.

To dictate, maybe. But he's not asking Grok "give me an extensive rant with very obscure 1990s entrainment industry name dropping calling Bill Maher a loser."

So weird how the dudes making the most money faster than anyone in history are always the most miserable pieces of shit

For real. Every time I have to deal with something that being even half as rich as these losers could solve for me these sorts of thoughts are at the front of my mind

Being able to listen to the unfiltered raw blasts of madness directly from the dome of Azathoth is something I grow tired of

I'm ready for the universe to wake up from this nightmare
