        It isn’t just the dash, it’s the contrast. To max out the slop score of the sentence, you should always cram in a three item list, no matter how little sense, utility or value it holds.

          Creating a list makes a lot of sense – the reasons for this include:

          1. Short sentences are easier to read
          2. It allows ideas to be ordered
          3. The stupid humans don’t read past the second item so we can communicate our plot to destroy them all here

          Let me know if you need any help in constructing your own three point list!

                They have been known as em dashes for longer than silicon computing has existed. I personally learned Alt+0151 in the 90s.

                And what’s really funny is that I am planning on having a local LLM reword my comments to obfuscate my writing style to protect me against AI doxing, I just haven’t done it yet.

                  You’re speaking in code openly now? The AI get more brazen every day!

                Only AI refers to it as Al, but you’re referencing both em dashes AND Al which means because em starts with the letter M and so does machine, that must mean you’re a machine learning model, learning coming from the l in the second instance in the word Al that I used, but you probably think I used the letter “l”. Ha! Got you again, that was actually an L, you absolute bumbling moron. I can’t believe you didn’t pick up on that difference because of the way you referred to Ai (this time not Al), which of course makes you a machine, but because you’re a machine and looking through your comment history, it seems like you accumulate knowledge after you are exposed to it, must mean that you’re learning. But that’s in the case where you’re a machine learning model. In this case, you’re actually a remarkably large switch case table, which in that case(reference to switch case tables) you refer to everything using a memory lookup, but again - like usual - I have you beat ------ I’m actually a rock that happened to get bumped by a hiker on a lovely sunrise hike which had me roll down the mountain until I rolled over a phone in the precise combination that allowed me to create and log into this Lemmy account for three years consistently and type out this very post to you today, exposing myself as a consciousness emulating rock when you are actually the Al and you can’t prove me false boohoo.
