The “em-dashes” (—) come up a lot in online translations of books like Bible and Quran.

Normal keyboard “-” and “–” are different from “—” but microsoft office auto-formats “–” to that.

I kinda assumed it was ALL microsoft word data that caused training to include that.

I am only now realizing AI stole from even the religious texts and influenced by them as well.

      I mean, public domain allows for that though, that’s kind of half the point. Penguin Classics literally only resells public domain works, but it’s a printed copy and their printing costs deserve to be covered. Steamboat Willie can be used for commercial works now and I want to see people rub it in the mouse’s face while making a buck.
