Oh, merci beaucoup, America 🇺🇸

This is the greatest thing I've ever read.

And it was made by AI

People with advanced punctuation and grammar skills - those educated in another country, perhaps - do still use advanced punctuation and grammar skills just to keep the skillset current.

I am a college professor. I ran my textbook written in 2018 through an ai detector and it came up 100%. Seems unlikely to be accurate.

Also, I ran that same text you scanned through 3 other detectors that I use and they came up 0%.

In other words, your evidence is far from conclusive.

edit: although to be fair, gptzero did not make the same mistake with my textbook. Maybe I need to add it to my set of scanners

I was told to "put up or shut up" in a now deleted reply, so here. I originally scanned both halves but don't feel like doing ocr on the second half again. Hopefully this is convincing enough that I am not full of shit.
edit: I should add that my point isn't that I know for sure it wasn't ai generated (in fact I have since been convinced it probably was), it's that ai scanners cannot be relied upon

Dismissing text as ai because it has dashes is not going to work as well as you imagine. Some of us went to a real school. Just because you apparently did not is no reason to assume that sophisticated punctuation must be the work of ai.

[u/ColbysToyHairbrush → u/DegeneratesInc]

Some of us use AI for work every day. The writing style is an incredibly obvious giveaway. You’re ignorant.

[u/DegeneratesInc → u/ColbysToyHairbrush]

The punctuation your ai uses isn't limited to bots. Real people can write like that as well.

Ignorant people can learn. Arrogant people refuse to believe they'd ever need to.

[u/ColbysToyHairbrush → u/DegeneratesInc]

Are you even real? You are so naive.

[u/DegeneratesInc → u/ColbysToyHairbrush]

Naïve can learn. Bullies are too cowardly to do the introspection necessary to address their need to abuse people.

Never, in all my school years (nor an in-depth study of Oxford english) have I ever seen an em dash used to separate a clause from the surrounding sentence. Maybe it's got something to do with Australians adhering to the monarch's English and not the 'standardised' US butchering of the language.

[u/DegeneratesInc → u/[deleted]]

Em and en dashes are proper English if you know how to use them which it would seem you do not.

Don't give up your day job of teaching American to English Ai bots.

[u/DegeneratesInc → u/[deleted]]

That's separating a clause from the sentence, used so that one might place a comma within the clause, as taught to me in year 5 or 6 english. One can use it regardless of commas as well.

Later on in high school, we learned that em dashes were reserved for special use cases in academic or technical papers, eg. I wouldn't use an em dash on reddit except maybe in a quote.

[u/Lailoken42 → u/[deleted]]

Professional writers/journalists use them. And making an em dash is not as complicated as you seem to indicate. Word, for example, makes one if you just type two dashes. Most people don't write with dashes at all unless they are hyphenating words (which is not what em dashes are for obviously)

Anyways alt codes are fun :Þ

This may or may not be ai written. At the end of the day I don't care. If it is, they clearly prompted the hell out of it and cleaned it up afterwards so it would be no less legitimate in my eyes.
