This is kind of pointless given that iOS’s autocorrect has been adding em dashes, ellipsis and smart quotes to comments since… forever.

(Like now)

It’s become a weird kind of witch hunting regarding blogs, too, and I have a 20+ year old site that renders all of its content using Markdown extensions that do the same (and that also convert dual hyphens to em dashes—something I’ve been typing for about as long).

This site seems to be about identifying users who used emdash BEFORE ChatGPT was released, therefore identifying who is likely not ChatGPT despite using emdashes
