With the rise of AI, I get a little nervous when I see small signs of its use in online writing, especially on Wattpad. ChatGPT uses an elongated dash, similar to '-' on the keyboard of my laptop. But it looks like this — instead. I've never used one on a regular keyboard and never noticed them before ChatGPT.  Has anyone else noticed this or am I being paranoid?

@LadyChronicle I'm not aware of any specific ones since I guess there will always be exceptions? Some may argue their writing looks robotic, not meaning a robot actually wrote it lol. As PenumbraMine mentioned, probably metadata is a stronger identifier

@PenumbraMine very interesting! I suppose assumptions are unfair as I know a lot of people import their work into Wattpad, as opposed to actually writing in it from scratch. I also recently read that AI images used on accounts are exclusion criteria for Wattpad Creators- not sure if that includes profile pictures as well. Using it on actual story covers, or chapter media is probably not advisable, since they don't really like people even using copyrighted songs/media/content due to paywalling issues etc.

@cosmicgh0st I guess time and learning will tell. Does it have certain characteristics that shows its AI, like when you get a genuine apology and can tell it apart from a corporate apology?

Hey Cosmicgh0st! 
          
          I have been a long time reader of your works (found you back in 2017 and stuck with you since lol) and I just wanted to check and see if you are ok! I follow you on instagram as well it just seems like you are taking a longer break than i have seen you take before. I still come back to read your stories (even the unfinished ones) cause they are just too good to forget about. I feel like I am really keeping my wattpad app still on my phone is because I come back to read your stories from time to time. I just hope wherever you are, that you are happy and healthy and still getting writing inspirations! You are my absolute favourite author on this platform and would love it if you come back to update your stories or maybe even start new books!
