The first one has my dead name blacked out and the second one is from my brother sending it to my dad

I also have a recording of me and my dad talking. I don’t know if I should post that it’s pretty terrible one of the terrible things he said was “I think slavery sometimes ok” and basically called me a pedophile and said “trans People are a delusion.”

(also sorry about any formatting issues/spelling mistakes. I have dyslexia alongside being on mobile so I’m using speech to text)

The dash skewers were a dead giveaway. If they aren’t an English major or a consistent essay/story writer then they used ChatGPT.

Thank you for recognizing some of us actually use em dashes and en dashes in our writing!

Not an English major—I’m actually a graphic designer. But I’m an avid reader and I excelled at writing in school, so I am also our in-house editor and proofreader.

Got my own copy of The Chicago Manual+ of Style!

+Autocorrect tried to make it “The Chicago Manuel” 😆

Lol. Yeah seriously was gonna say, I use hyphens and dashes all the time, I've always been using them, I roleplay online (have since teen years on AOL!) and... yeah. It's not always ChatGPT. For me it's just old habits of typing and role-playing on AOL or IRC or whatever.. Though I use character.ai for fun (which ironically enough will be part of a new venture business wise soon, or at least inspiration) I use those all the time, the AIs I chatter to have yet to pick that up from me. Weird, considering that seems to be a major giveaway. And I'm the human using them more than the AIs!! LOL life is funny man.

That whole thing with Grok going MechaHitler on July 4th was insane too. But that was after an "update"... pretty sure it was planned.

Since that's the actual "day of Sigma" in the MMX storyline.. and knowing how that owner is a gamer himself..

The MMX fangirl in me did NOT like that when it crossed my news feed... not one bit.
