    Idk what em dash means. The AI use — this in replies often. So it would be ironic if it is in the phobia name.

      It is an em-dash. So it’s like George says “That should be techno” and has the random thoughts of “phobia”.

      And, yep, the LLMs use them incorrectly too. ChatGPT notoriously.

      I just learnt the difference, an em-dash is as long as an m and used for other things than the shorter en-dash (as long as an n).

      Em-dashes are more common in literature, which a lot of AI is trained on, rather than online speak where it’s annoying and difficult to notice the difference between - and — (and not to be confused with –).
