He also forgot "proof reader."
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.
Now i see why people suspect that em dash = ai, that's a lot of em dash.
There's a difference between (this—this) and (this--this).
I will always use the latter because I am not bothering with typing allat.
I am not AI. Probably.
I am not AI. Probably.
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.
I use - for all of these
Speak for yourself.

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!
Nice try robot scum
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.
The different style guides are designed for their particular environments. Most American newspapers and magazines follow AP, but most book publishers follow Chicago. Academics in the humanities tend to follow MLA, while academics in the social sciences tend to use APA. Hell, IEEE has a style guide for electrical engineers.
So do whatever you prefer. I tend to use Chicago because that's what I know best, but I have worked professionally in writing and editing publications that followed the Chicago rules.

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.

Also three dots but it's one character. Reddit's popular subs are full of AI. Super duper scary.

skills: "can prompt chatgpt", they're not so able to read it, but it's something!
Real soon scam emails will start with Here's the translation you requested:
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"

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 ?

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.

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.
