        I use em dashes all the time, but I don’t put a space on either side—I feel like that’s not the correct way to use one. If it is, I don’t wanna be correct.

        I try to use em dashes when I can, but I think they’re used wrong in the comment above (IIRC they’re not supposed to be surrounded by spaces, but I could be wrong). What tips me off is the unambiguously “LLM” narrative voice and structure (“let’s break it down”, followed by an ordered list). Not that a human can’t type that, but sometimes it seems like ChatGPT is incapable of spitting out words in any other structure.

      That’s whatever browser or app you’re using. It rendered as © for me… Bracket, c, bracket

      Can’t tell if serious because entering ( c ) without the spaces is © in Firefox and other browsers.

      Is it because the other letters don’t have brackets? I don’t use AI to know if that is a thing.
