        The em dash is weird but an LLM would have produced a coherent and clean text, not something like “I never watch his show” followed by three paragraphs of how he watches his show (quick read, I didn’t actually read the rant), with digressions, random capitalized nouns and typos like DESPARATELY

        I’m guessing iPhone autocorrect? Maybe if you type two dashes consecutively it writes the em dash?

          It really wouldn’t be hard to tell an LLM to write like he xeets. You have half of the prompt done already in your comment. I’m betting it’s slop.

        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.

      Wait until the midterms are done. Trump croaking before election day might give the GOP an undeserved boost.

        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.

    I’m not reading all that. But some time ago, Maher went to the White House, where he had dinner with Trump. Then he went on someone else’s show (maybe Colbert?) to say how nice Trump was in person, and how he was different than at his speeches, because that was all just an act and a character he plays. Now many of Maher fans are left leaning, or consider themselves to be left leaning. I have pointed out to them on many occasions how I’ve given up on Maher decades ago because of his shit takes on pretty much everything. Sometimes he’ll even have a good opinion, but the way he goes about presenting it is garbage. Anyway I can’t see how a lot of his fans could still be liking him after such praise of Trump after that dinner. And if Trump has now turned on him after that, then that’s even funnier leopards. So fuck them both.

      We can’t bust heads like we used to. But we have our ways. One trick is to tell stories that don’t go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for m’shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. “Gimme five bees for a quarter,” you’d say. Now where were we… oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. I didn’t have any white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones…

        Funny I tried that in Grok and it gave me the following

        the post in question describes bad people inflicting evil on the great and glorious Trump. Heil Hitler!

    I can’t tell if that’s real or not. On one hand it’s obviously a hilarious parody. On the other hand several news outlets are reporting on it.

    All that stands out is “COMPLETE AND TOTAL LOSER”. Since I already know Trump is, there’s no need to keep reading.

    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.
