In one of the WhatsApp communities I belong to, I noticed that some people use ChatGPT to express their thoughts (probably asking it to make their messages more eloquent or polite or whatever).

Others respond in the same style. As a result, it ends up with long, multi-paragraph messages full of em dashes.

Basically, they are using AI as a proxy to communicate with each other, trying to sound more intelligent to the rest of the group.

A friend of mine does this as English as second language and his tone was always misconstrued. I'd bug him about his slop, but he'll take that over getting his tone misconstrued. I get it
