You Can Finally Fix ChatGPTās Em-Dash Fixation: Hereās How
If youāve been sneakily trying to use AI for writing, or have been in a position where you had to check for it, youāll know that the em-dash is one of the most famous signs of ChatGPT-generated writing. Research from The Washington Post showed that at one point this year almost half of ChatGPT-generated responses included the controversial piece of punctuation, up almost fivefold compared to 2024. Meanwhile, many ChatGPT users took to social media to complain about the trouble they were having getting the chatbot to stop using em-dashes, despite trying many different prompts to that end.

What Is Copilot? Microsoft's AI Assistant Explained
It's a generative AI assistant that can create images (both artistic and photorealistic), find files, help you perform various tasks, offer answers on nearly any topic, produce text (such as emails or reports), and much more. It's multimodal, too, meaning it accepts text, voice, and images as input. Copilot can perform deep research on a topic or find a tiny piece of information that's arduous to reach with standard search. It can also write or fix programming code in many popular computer languages, including C, JavaScript, and Python.

Why I'm Not Upgrading to the Switch 2
Over the eight years I've owned the Nintendo Switch, I've played dozens of terrific titles, even several life-affirming releases, such as Fire Emblem: Three Houses, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Metroid Dread, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Nothing was a more essential gaming experience for me than playing Hades during the COVID-19 pandemic. It helped me understand the relationship between mechanics and storytelling, and gave me a sense of accomplishment when I needed it most.
