OpenAI has resolved an issue where ChatGPT was persistently using em dashes, a common sign of AI-generated text. The em dash has become a controversial marker in various forms of writing, leading to accusations of laziness among writers. Many have defended its use, arguing it has been part of writing long before AI tools adopted it. However, the overuse by chatbots made it a new point of criticism. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman confirmed the fix, calling it a ‘small-but-happy win’ for users.
