Have you ever, when you are busy surfing social media, suddenly a bunch of long text appears—usually caption a post—which when you glance at it—without reading it—immediately judges, “Artificial AI this!”? This is a common thing to happen, even often to myself—in fact autopilot—slandering an article is the work of an artificial intelligence machine (Artificial Intelligence). Autopilot This happens because the appearance of writing that has the same pattern is increasingly frequent, so more in-depth reading is needed before judging a piece of writing.
Get to know each other first AI, ‘yuk!
In these days of haste, the world gets convenience, and speed—and perhaps challenges—in the form of artificial intelligence, or what we will henceforth call “Dik AI”. Ease that can be widely considered a ‘colleague’, or not infrequently even considered an ‘opponent’. This discovery marks an extraordinary leap in all aspects of life. Starting from students who do assignments at the same time as geckos – who are supposed to sleep after the rooster crows – can sleep early, to young mothers who want to immediately serve their cooking to their children who arrive home at three o’clock. Starting from extreme references that adapt prestigious journals, to simple recipe summaries from various sites, everything can be served quickly, warmly—and deliciously—by “Dik AI”.

It tastes delicious, because of the comfort that results from not much effort. Because of that delicacy, “Dik AI” reap the pros and cons. For final semester students—fourteen—”Dik AI” is colleague in working on the final assignment—which No at the end of it. On the other hand, for painters who live and die by producing work, “Sister AI” is against. Neighbors, friends, relatives, and even his girlfriend believe more in “Sis AI” to make picturesstyle anime from the photo you just took.
Slander that comes because of presence AI
From all these views, a challenge arises for other groups. Yapwriter! Both from light article writers, scientific journal writers, to writers caption uploads on Instagram, almost always get slander. This slander did not appear without reason, but was present because of a product made by “Dik AI” which is becoming more and more common day by day. A user of X (formerly Twitter) with the username @ha********ng, wrote a tweet about “Dik AI”which reads:
“The more you come here, the more you can feel which articles use ChatGPT.
Features that are pretty obvious:
- Emoji as bullet points
- Sentence pattern “not a, not b, but c”
- The sentence pattern “it’s not just x, it’s y.””
This tweet also received various types and perspectives of comments. As of this writing (20/10), the tweet received 203 replies. Some agreed with his tweet, some expressed their objection to the slander posted in the dash (em dash) who are innocent. As user X with the username @ef************ar put it, with the sound, “The fault is em dash where (ed: where) anjir I often use em and en dash since 2016 grgr (ed: because) learning to write”.
From the main tweet above, it can be understood that day by day, the ‘work’ of “Dik AI” This makes the pattern and characteristics increasingly visible. Some of the points conveyed in the tweet are true. So readers on platform Social media needs to pay attention to these signs before sending slander. However, remember, the signs revealed in the tweet are only signs, not necessarily the same as Dik’s work. AI.
The defense did not come from just one side, user X with the username @sh*****na wrote a defense tweet that read, “Except for the second point, actually what is mentioned in the characteristics is quite annoying. Because those are points that could be considered neat writing, imo (ed: in my opinion). Especially the use of the em dash.” This defense emphasizes that not everything stated in the first tweet is valid, because these points show the characteristics of neat writing. But it could be said that the second point—part “Emojis as bullet points”—is guaranteed.

From the debates and arguments in X, it was found that the dash (em dash) existed long before “Dik AI” born.
Indeed em dash what’s wrong?
Dash (em dash) can easily be found in novels, literary works, scientific articles, poetry, even quotes famous figures who are easily displayed by social media accounts.
In writing, punctuation marks in the form of horizontal lines can be called dash. There are three types dashesthat is hyphen, in dashAnd em dash. Each dash have their respective duties and roles. Based on explanations obtained from two sources, namely The Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) and Enhanced Spelling edition V (EYD V), as follows:
- Hyphen/ Hyphen (-)
As the name suggests, these punctuation marks are used to connect elements that are related, repeated, related, or can also connect two different elements. Usage examples: husband and wife; children; two-thirds; S-1. - In Dash (–)
In EYD V, this punctuation is not explained explicitly. However, The Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) provide an explanation that punctuation marks in dash used to unite elements linked by distance. Examples of use: September–October; 1948–1888. - Em Dash/ Dash (—)
Nahthis punctuation mark which is currently hotly debated has many functions, starting from replacing commas (,), replacing colons (:), replacing semicolons (;), even replacing brackets (()). This dash has the function of enclosing additional information, or interruptions, such as: “Success—we agree—can be achieved if we are willing to try hard.”; And “The Indonesian Language Prioritization Movement—the mandate of the Youth Pledge—must continue to be encouraged”. However, it is different from CMOS. Din addition to functioning as a substitute for several punctuation marks and as a ‘clamp’ of additional information or interruption, in EYD V, this punctuation mark also functions as in dash which is explained by CMOS. Example: Jakarta—Dony; September—October.
Suggestions for all parties
After understanding the function, when it appears, and the role em dashit can be concluded that the number of hours spent reading has an influence on the judgment of a piece of writing.
“That one AI” not present to be avoided, but present as friends, colleagues, and even critical colleagues. So don’t avoid it, but use it in moderation.
So, finally, here’s a bit of advice for all concerned;
For writers, ‘yuk, began to explore various forms of writing, styles, and the order of sentence patterns so that they would not be easily slandered.
For Dik users AI as colleague writing, ‘yuk, maximize it Sis AI only as a ‘colleague’, not the main author. Or, at the very least, decorate the work “Dik AI” with your own written characters.
For general readers, ‘yuk, help defend writers and punctuation which are often slandered!
For slanderers, ‘yukread a lot!
