    Yeah, trump didn’t write that, no way in hell he did as he isn’t capable of writing like that. A huge single paragraph without insulting someone, or bragging? Pripprr grammar and syntax? No all caps?

    Nope, not him…

      You didn’t even mention that m-dash in there. As much as I dislike attributing m-dashes to AI, that was a dead-giveaway that Trump didn’t write this.

        Right? He doesn’t even know what they are, and while an Em Dash isn’t a guarantee of AI, anyone who is at all concerned about people thinking their writing is AI now avoid them.

        So if this isn’t AI, its someone who failed to think things through. (But its AI.)

        Sidenote: wouldn’t be surprised at all if Em Dashes leave our human lexicon altogether, given the negative association they’ve received. Like spelling changes, AI might just make our writing drift away from them altogether, until AI does get exclusive use of it.

          I use em dashes more—as much as I can justify—because the hubbub made me think about them.

          “Trump” is definitely AI here though.

            I genuinely was not really aware of em-dashes before all this – I just used hyphens and semi-colons in pretty much the same way. Now I use em-dashes because it’s so easy to do and I don’t want to look like a rube, but now I wonder if people think I’m AI.

            Fortunately, nobody online really gives a fuck about me or anyone else.

            I never used them that often. A standard “-” tends to do me just fine.

            But it’s always a shame to be able to convey less in the same amount of characters.

          If the post was made by AI, wouldn’t it be…better? Unless it was prompted to write in this “style.”

            Definitely it’s best attempt to match Donald trump.

            Well, its best given the shitty prompt I’m sure it was given. “Be Donald trump, but make sure you’re understandable and don’t start unnecessary fights”, or something like that.

          Is it even possible to write like Trump without adding fuel to the fire that this post is trying to quell?
