Blogger Adds Em Dashes With Script
3.9
On Feb. 15, 2026, a blogger said they do not use LLMs to write posts but acknowledged one exception: a legacy Python snippet that replaces ' - ' with an em dash (u'\u2014'). The author traced the code to at least 2015 when porting the site to Django, noting it enforces consistent typography across posts.
Key Points
- 1Uses script to replace ' - ' with em dash (u'\u2014') in posts
- 2Preserves typographic consistency across posts; originates from Django migration in 2015
- 3Highlights transparency about tooling and differentiates human authorship from LLM generation
Scoring Rationale
Practical, verifiable detail about tooling, but limited scope and single-source personal blog reduces broader impact.
