Wikipedia editors are some of the biggest babies. I've been working on a draft article for submission, and it got rejected, the person saying that I used a LLM, because I fucking used an em dash. I guess shit that I wrote 20+ years ago was written with AI because that has em dashes too.

Never mind that WP:DASH says specifically to use an en dash (–) or em dash (—) characters instead of a hyphen (-) when not hyphenating words. I know most people use hyphen since we have that key on the keyboard, but I can easily copy and paste other characters or do keyboard shortcuts.

Plus, if I was using an LLM, why does the edit logs show that I spent over 3 hours making changes to a 500 word article. It makes no sense to have something write for you, and then spend hours adjusting it.
