From my blog[0]: "I instinctively type alt + 0151 (Windows) or option + shift + - (Mac). I don’t use it everywhere (e.g., code comments), but I often employ it in my writing—a habit I developed after years of roleplaying in online games with native English speakers.
An "advanced, trusted GPT-4, ChatGPT and AI Detector tool" flagged the text above as 100% "AI GPT". If I swap the em-dash for a hyphen, it drops to 48%.
The em-dash is a stylistic choice that's been around since the 1830s–used to create a break in a sentence.
I don’t know why this particular style of writing is flagged as AI-generated—as if real humans can’t pause for dramatic effect. We're left second-guessing our own voice and swapping out em-dashes for clunky commas—just to prove we're real.
I think in this case volume wins out in that over 90% of Portuguese speakers are Brazilian Portuguese speakers. If anything it may one day just become "Portuguese" and "European Portuguese".

For that incident, an expert panel was set up in July, the interim report was published in November, and the final report in Feburary 2025: so it'll take a few months.
Not required, but engineers tend to enjoy this sort of thing. Also, since it affected some 60 million people and EU-wide grid interconnects, someone will have to explain what happened.

If that makes me sound like a bot—so be it."
