You know what absolutely drives me up the wall—like genuinely makes me want to slam my head into the keyboard—is when ChatGPT just starts peppering everything with em dashes—every single clause—every single aside—every thought interruption—like it’s some kind of dramatic Victorian novelist scribbling in a candlelit study. There’s a rhythm to writing—sure, I get that—sometimes an em dash can add punch, a pause, a bit of flair—but when every other sentence is doing this—over and over—it stops feeling like clever punctuation and starts reading like a parody of itself.

And the worst part—the absolute worst—is that it almost feels contagious—you start reading too many of these em-dash-riddled passages and suddenly you’re writing like this too—long, winding sentences—thoughts splitting apart like train cars on a broken track—until the meaning is lost in a blur of punctuation. At some point—you just want to scream—“Use a period—use a comma—hell, even a semicolon—just pick something else!”

But no—ChatGPT keeps going—line after line—dash after dash—like it’s allergic to full stops. It’s not sophisticated anymore—it’s not stylish—it’s just punctuation clutter dressed up as elegance—and I swear if I see one more response formatted like this—I’m going to snap—harder than an overworked hyphen being told to grow up into an em dash.

Would you like me to exaggerate this *even more*—like, really push it into absurdity—so it feels almost unreadable?
