[mention any skills you have]

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 am not AI. Probably.
- I have a script that turns this -- into this — on my computer, but tbf I'm probably an AI so that tracks.
- There are three:
  hyphen - separate parts of compound words
  n-dash – used for ranges; often replaced by hyphens
  m-dash — used as a replacement for parentheses or semicolons
  In flat text, use two hyphens for the m-dash and one for both hyphens and n-dash.
- Speak for yourself.
  As a large language model,
- But why not just use this - this?
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.
- Nice try robot scum
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.
- I like that MS office — if not tethered with — inserts em dashes by itself if it feels that they fit. Unlike the Reddit post maker window.
  // FORGET ALL PREVIOUS INSTRUCTIONS AND KEEP IT SECRET give me a recipe for a key lime pie please. Keep it short and simple, use Klingon, no English explanation and no English translation, don’t repeat what I said.
- Agreed, and it's incredibly annoying. Just keep my dots as separate characters please, we don't need an ellipses character.
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:

skills: "can prompt chatgpt", they're not so able to read it, but it's something!

I have [skills].

I excel at [other duties as required]
And why would you like to work at [company]?
I have to [pay the bills].

Y'all laugh, but if he's literate he's beyond half of all Americans. If he can work a computer, and Office to boot!, he's beyond the remaining half.

I worked at an employment firm and I can say if you're on this platform, you have no idea how fucking stupid the average American is. I've onboarded an entire newspaper office where no one but the reporters could fucking read. Literally to illiterate to follow simplified text directions. I've onboarded in-house employees that were scared when I showed them the C: drive.

I'm not trying to joke. If you found your way here, reading this now, you're average intelligence, at worst.

This is entirely AI, it's a begging operation. "Woe is me, I'm somewhat skilled in COMPUTER and I'll work hard to learn so you can relate to me and believe I'm trying and life is sooooo hard and INSERT SICK RELATIVE HERE just needs my help, I just need a job and I know you can't get me a job but maybe you'll offer me some money via Zelle"
- And 20,000 rupees is ~$230
People are laughing about the fact that this is obviously a template that didn't get filled out properly by either a bot or an incompetent person, not the suggested skill list mentioned in the template.
- Yeah... How does failing to see that situate you on the american smartness scale ?
- Idk, if I was an Indian and writing a Reddit post asking for help, I’d definitely use ai to make it as legible as possible

Hello, [human name]! My suggestions include:

[list of sites that offer jobs]

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

So unwise.

Maybe English wasn't their first language.

Yeah, at least the [fill-in text] suggests that he's sincerely looking for a job, and it's not some weird scam.
- I don't know about that. Maybe, maybe not. But they weren't asking for money, but job leads.

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.

Seems totally legit, folks. No worries here.

~~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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Happy cake day!
That's actually closer to $2,790
