literally unusable if you don’t want to be seen as an illiterate chatgpt monger. so depressing. I’m tired of using semi colons and commas in their stead, they’re just too clunky in certain situations. burn the data centers down. fuck and when all actual writers have switched over, like I have (not calling myself a writer fyi), then the ai will just start using those instead. nothing good comes from generative, recreational ai. opium crisis of our times, no use. genuinely, no use. fuck them all. fuck the child herder elon and his (possibly) bastard son peter thiel. karp fuck you too
The Unicode name for that symbol you typed is actually “hyphen-minus”: it’s a character created as a compromise in the early days of fixed-width typewriters, which has persisted into the present day as typewriters evolved into modern computer keyboards. The hyphen-minus is identical to a hyphen, which obviously has a separate Unicode point once again, but the hyphen-minus (as the name implies) does double duty as a minus sign as well. It’s just that there is technically also a different “proper” minus sign that’s a bit wider that you’re “supposed” to use “if you can”… I just don’t see a reason to bother with it.
