Old Prof<p>I’ve read that use of em-dashes is considered indicative of LLM generated text. I wonder what that means for people like me, mathematicians who came of age in the 80's, learned TeX from Knuth's “The TeX book" instead of later sources, and so acquired some of Knuth's fussiness about typography and the correct (and distinctive) use of hyphens, en-dashes, and em-dashes.</p><p>Are we bots?</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/mathematician" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mathematician</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ai</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/typography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>typography</span></a></p>
