It’s written by chatgpt, do I highly doubt it Em dashes, weird quote marks are always a giveaway

While the post might of course be generated, it’s a bit stupid that the use of dashes has become something of a (useless) shibboleth. It’s a valid typographical feature with distinct use cases and has been used for centuries. It’s fallen out of style lately, but it’s usage is quite in character for a 84 yo intellectual. The quote marks are also not weird, and if the post would have used bullet points instead of paragraphs for structure, you’d probably would have mentioned that, too.

Yea, scientists like to write papers and use the fancy em dash, most people don’t even know how to type one. It’s also formatted in the exact way chatgpt does it’s mind numbingly shit one pagers

Many writing tools automatically transform dash to em dash when used as an em dash.
