More mad about CapCut, tbh

And all because we refused to just use the damn em dash.
The war on em dashes isn’t about AI. It’s about us. About the fact that we’re all so terminally online that we’d rather perform being human than actually be human.
Yikes.

6. Eventually, we ditch words entirely. Emojis make a comeback, but not in a cute way. Full Shakespearean soliloquies are conveyed through strings of 🍆💀🙌🔥😭. Nobody understands anyone else. Wars are declared over misinterpreted group chats. Society collapses.

“No robot cud write like dis!!!!1” becomes the battle cry of the terminally cringe. Nobody knows what anyone else is saying, but we all agree it’s VERY authentic.

5. The anti-AI aesthetic gets worse
You thought Comic Sans memes were bad? Oh, honey. People now go out of their way to sound disjointed. Professional emails read like this: “pls update file idk re: ur idea maybe thx lol. btw pizza nxt wk????”

4. AI adapts and humans spiral
As we contort ourselves to avoid sounding robotic, AI evolves to sound exactly like us. “H*ckin doggo vibes uwu” gets spat back by ChatGPT 12.0 with eerie accuracy. Humans, meanwhile, regress to grunting at each other over Zoom calls.

3. Writers go feral. They smuggle em dashes back into their work, but subtly—hidden in the margins like acts of rebellion. Others take it too far, plastering entire novels with nothing but em dashes, creating unreadable monstrosities. This book is an 80,000-word sentence and it’s ART, you cowards!

2. Punctuation becomes a weird status symbol
The em dash goes underground, traded in seedy corners of the net like black-market Fabergé eggs. People who still use it are either reckless or rebels. Subreddits form: r/em_dash_saviors for the purists, r/dashholes for the ironic trolls.

1. Everyone’s writing looks like a ransom note
No punctuation looks human, so people remove it entirely. Sentences bleed into each other, like a drunken confession or a manifesto found in a serial killer’s cabin. Your manager’s messages look like they were scrawled on the inside of a bathroom stall.

You abandon grammar altogether.
The fallout is tremendous. Here are my 2025 predictions…

They’re now the scarlet letter of the generative AI era—a bright, blinking sign that screams “This wasn’t written by a human!"
Instead, you scramble. You fumble with clunky semicolons. You misuse ellipses like some deranged 2012 Facebook mom posting cryptic messages about “what you did last summer…
