Nice try, bot! /s

For lack of an easy way to type it on my computer I tend to use parentheses (which effectively serve the same purpose) but will opt for an em dash more often when typing on my phone at the risk of bookish messages and notes.

Coworkers have emailed me before suggesting a certain course of action which I can tell is heavily influenced by an LLM. "I think we should X because Y" to which I just think "Is this really what you know and believe?". If I wanted an LLM to answer I could have asked it myself. But I don't accuse — I ask for more evidence or a better argument because if I'm forced to work with an LLM by proxy I am going to reflect the burden of dealing with one back to the author.

Espanso can be set up to make it easier, along with Powertoys on Windows and alt+shift+dash on the mac keyboard layout

As a Linux user... I should be embarrassed to not have set up a keybind for this. Not sure why I didn't think of it before!
