He forgot to add "prompt engineer" to his skills.
He also forgot "proof reader."
Now i see why people suspect that em dash = ai, that's a lot of em dash.
I hate that, I always loved my em-dashes, and I'll continue to use them — even if that means I look like an AI!
The two dominant style guides in the U.S. (Chicago Manual of Style and the A.P. Stylebook) prescribe no spaces around em dashes. When I do professional writing I default to Chicago, so I learned to eventually omit spaces around em dashes. That's still my main way of distinguishing myself, for now.
Oh it's interesting! In French typography (which I use in English if I don't know this language's rule), there's a normal space between the main text and the dash, and a non-breaking space between the dash and the inclusion. But I may turn to Chicago, now that I know that.
I would advise against it — I think it looks stupid.
Ugh, there are those of us that are fully aware of the proper uses for en dashes and em dashes, and I'm not going to stop properly using my em dashes just so people don't think sending them an AI generated response.
Another comment mentioned a "giveaway" is the "there dots but as one character". I don't know about y'all's keyboards, but if I type an ellipses my phone's keyboard automatically changes it to a single character of three dots and has been doing so for years.
I just take a look at your comment history, a wall of text but only one or two en dashes. Compared to the oop's one, 3 em dashes in just a couple of paragraph. The difference both you and AI is a lot.
True, I don't overuse then within that amount of text.
Also three dots but it's one character. Reddit's popular subs are full of AI. Super duper scary.
I use em dash all the time instead of parentheses or semicolons. I also really struggle with captchas.
I’m beginning to doubt myself.
Real soon scam emails will start with Here's the translation you requested:
I have [skills].
And why would you like to work at [company]?
I have to [pay the bills].
I excel at [other duties as required]
Hello, [human name]! My suggestions include:
I hope I've been helpful!
I have basic skills in Doing the Needful, and I'm willing to learn fast and work hard.
That’s like $240.00 US dollars.
Yes, that’s enough to survive in India, except for the biggest cities

Ah, my competition making job requirements easy for me.
All the boss needs is someone who can write without ChatGPT.
Application denied by the AI. Reason: AI review, duh
Maybe English wasn't their first language.
So unwise.
He seems genuine
His neck is high, it makes me trust him
Effing Indian scammers!
okay but what would the motive to write this even be?
Responding to himself with some scam hustle, hoping that people similar to the OP take the bait?
People feel bad and send cash over DM.
The motive could be as simple as asking for a job while not being fluent in English or not being confident in their English skills. People look for the worse in people way too much sometimes.
Obviously he's not as desperate as he would like us to think.
~~Even if you ignore the copy/paste, this dude's casually mentioning he's looking to earn a $240,000 salary in a gig subreddit...~~
EDIT: ₹240,000. In rupees. Thank you for the corrections! I haven't had my coffee yet...
₹240,000. That's like less than $3,000 US.
That's a shit ton of money for someone that is "broke and desperate". This is from a European cost of living PoV. In india it is probably a shitton of money
EDIT: this comment is wrong. See responses below.
shitton
20000 rupees per month is around 200 euros from what I see
Ah my bad. The original post was per month but the comment I replied to was per year. I assumed it was per month too.
So it would be 3k/year.
Yeah, that's definitely not a lot.
You're technically correct, but it's much less than $3000 USD. $232.54 USD to be exact. Or roughly two day's worth of pay for the average American. I guess things are much cheaper in India.
Seems totally legit, folks. No worries here.
