Let’s talk about the board. Not a small innocent connector, it is not a barely more confident cousin, en Dash. No, I’m talking about “Em Dash”, such a long, dramatic line that Ai Looooooooooves, to fall into your sentences, as if earning a desk. Seriously, this is the Jazz Hands AI version.
You may not notice it, but most of them. This is a dead reward that you just allowed your favorite help midfielder to decorate your words in Drag Ai and like a bad wig reveals in the third act, it could be … a bit too much. Let me set the scene: You write a cordial e -mail to your team. Something sensitive, and possibly even harsh: “I thought a lot about how we cooperate – and how we can be better – not only as colleagues, but as people.”
Only wait. You didn’t write this sentence, but. You just wanted him to repair the typo, or possibly Zhuzh raised a tone, but now it is filled with distances EM, intraosphereal stimulation and strangely placed poetic paus. You were officially “marked by EM”.
What is an EM sign for AI?
Dash EM is the long horizontal line ( -), which is often used as a substitute of commas, goalkeepers, brackets or occasional dramatic break. It’s like a Swiss knife of punctuation army, and Ai loves him.

Ai is obsessed with EM gears, how the gene with the Y2K fashion is obsessed; It is misleading, strangely stylish and offensive to the border after abuse. But here is Kicker: AI uses distances like sprinkles for cupcakes for children ,. Even if it is not suitable. Even when you say: “Don’t sprinkle, please.”
I literally entered in AI: “Please remove the money.” What will I come back? “I have it!” and then:
“This is the main opportunity – requiring urgency – and clarity – for maximum influence.” Thanks, GPT. You removed thoroughly zero.
So how do you sound human (but you continue to use AI)?
Despite the Dash drama, I’m not here to inform you that you just completely throw out artificial intelligence. AI is good in polishing, refrading and getting out of its own mental path. But like a child with glue glue, you continue to have to supervise it.
Here are three actually helpful tricks to make sure that communication still feels like Hal 9000 with a journalism diploma.
1. First human sketch, second robot
Always, and I at all times mean, write the first sketch yourself. Let it be sloppy, driven typos, emotionally chaotic and uncomfortably honest. This gives your voice his fingerprints.
Let AI fix, change the change and suggest higher flow, but not earlier. And he cannot guess what you meant if you do not get something to work with it. Otherwise, this serves a perfectly punctuation bowl of oatmeal with the emotional depth of the letter of the DMV form. Think about it in this manner: you are the chef, artificial intelligence is simply a fancy sous-chef with a small, top hat. You say what you do. You don’t let him come up with a recipe.
2. Demolve EMS (and other AI saying)
When AI gives the best version, RiR it Stead, as if edit a script about a talking golden retriever, which writes blogs.
To look for:
- Em Washes (after all)
- Expression “In today’s fast world” (favorite AI initial line)
- Abuse of rhetorical questions
- Repetitive alliteration (Ai really thinks she is clever)
Make “Find and Replace” for ” -” if you have to. Replace them with commas, periods or, God, forbid, actual interrupting pauses in pondering. This immediately humanizes your tone. If Morgan Freeman seems to inform your opinion in the document of nature, it is probably too AI-Iish.
3. Add “you”
After polishing, read it aloud again. Ask yourself:
- Would I say it loudly on Brunch?
- Does it sound like me or a hospitable columnist for too difficult time?
- Did I just by chance quietly quoted Tony Robbins?
If it seems too stiff or polished, chill out it, add some slang. Brak the grammar rule, use fragments of sentences, write as you say, when you are deep three mimosa and give your best life advice. This is a secret sauce.
Example:
AI version: “Let’s browse innovative solutions to raise our business trajectory.”
Your version: “Let’s think about how to stop turning our wheels and actually develop it.”
Feel the difference?
Why do you have to still use artificial intelligence, even if I like eM greater than socially acceptable
Ai is not an enemy, he is your colleague, your co -author, an excessive intern who drank too much espresso and returned with a mission of 1200 words for the brunch leaflet.
Use it for:
- Tighten your message
- Help with structure and flow
- Make writing when you are fried in the brain
- Go next to the Empty page team without crying
Just don’t let it be the only voice in the room. Think about how autoCorrect, helpful when it is right, hilarious, when it is bad and dangerous, if you do not concentrate.
If your message begins to sound as if it belonged to OP-ED, but you simply attempt to send an email about the podcast schedule, take a step back, kill the village of Em, get better your strange voice and remember: and you do not replace you, you simply sound 12% smarter …
Now go, edit like a man, remove like a savage and send from Swagger. (And please, for the love of all analogue things, delete Em.)
