Honestly, I was leaning toward “funny but probably fake” myself until I checked out OP’s post history, which mentions “startups” and namedrops a few SaaS tools used heavily in marketing. If you’ve worked with marketers (or a fair few startup bros, honestly), you’ll know this isn’t beyond the bounds of reason for some of them 😂

Why does it not occur to the overconfident goons reflexively hitting “report” that the reason AI uses em dashes so frequently is because SO DID THE ACTUAL HUMANS they stole their shit from?? Alt+0151 motherfuckers, it’s not that deep 🙄

Massie was and is extremely wrong about many issues IMO, but I’ll be damned if his backbone on this hasn’t given me some satisfaction. I guess being a bullheaded libertarian who sincerely believes in your principles can be an advantage when your naysayers are straight up hypocrites defending child-raping billionaires.

“Yo dawg, we heard Canadians had significant concerns about AI trust, transparency, privacy issues, and data sovereignty, so we fed your feedback without your permission into a bunch of commercial LLMs created by foreign tech oligarchs so we could figure out why you are so concerned about AI trust, transparency, data issues, and data sovereignty…”
