Blade Runners of LinkedIn are hunting for replicants – one em dash at a time
- LinkedIn users are trying to identify AI-generated content, with a focus on the use of em dashes as a potential telltale sign.
- The em dash, commonly used in US English, is ChatGPT's default option likely due to its training on US content, causing suspicion among some on LinkedIn.
- However, experts suggest that the use of em dashes is more a stylistic difference rather than a clear indicator of AI-generated content.
- As a result, some people are removing em dashes from their writing to avoid being mistaken for using AI tools like ChatGPT.
- Concerns about identifying AI-generated content extend to other indicators like Clunky syntax, emoji use, and overly enthusiastic marketing language.
- Despite calls for better AI detection tools, the current ones do not always accurately identify AI-generated content, leading to potential misidentifications.

- The article concludes that the focus on blaming punctuation for AI-generated content distracts from deeper concerns about the authenticity of content in the digital age.
- Ultimately, the fear lies not in the tools like ChatGPT but in the potential loss of authenticity and the blurred lines between human-created and AI-generated content.
- The article raises questions about the future of content creation and the coexistence of human and AI-generated content in the digital landscape.
- It suggests that the pursuit of authenticity should not be overshadowed by a fixation on specific punctuation marks as potential indicators of AI involvement.
