Em Dashes

One of the things that tells people “AI created this” is the use of em dashes. ChatGPT, SudoWrite’s Muse etc all use them. I’d suggest replacing them with a space, hyphen and space like here:

word—usage vs word - usage

It’s a small thing but in many of the AI webinars I’ve been in and all the tools we use at work, and I use at home, this little critter still remains. Whatever rule tells Muse to use one, I suggest change it as above.

This tool is SOOO amazing (I’ve published a few books already and am working on several more in the series) that the only suggestions I can come up with is a seemingly minor one like this - but I think it will help.

    Em Dashes

    Please make a way to turn off the em dashes. Maybe there already is a way to do this, but I don’t see it. The repetitive usage of it by the AI makes the text blatantly obvious it is AI.
