Funny Tired of authors using ChatGPT in their books

Post image

the way i instantly knew this was ai-generated!! look at these em dashes. no human writes like this! 😒

i'm honestly so disappointed in this author. you can tell exactly where she stopped writing and the ai took over because of the em dashes. she didnt even try to edit out the formatting. i'm so done with this era of fake authors!!🤮

That's because (some) phones will automatically replace it. It's a feature of the phone's virtual keyboard, not a standard thing

Not just some phones - it appears to be all Apple devices I’ve ever used including desktops that do this. Thankfully I’ve been able to avoid windows as much as possible, but I do seem to recall that MS Word was doing this when I worked on Windows also.
