GPT Dash Deleter

About

✨ One-Click Cleanup for AI-Generated Text
GPT Dash Deleter is a lightweight Chrome extension that instantly replaces GPT-style dashes (—, –, -) with commas in text across any webpage — with a single click.

This extension is designed for writers, editors, marketers, students, and professionals who use AI-generated text and want it to sound more natural, human, and polished.

🧠 Why It Exists
Modern AI tools generate text that frequently includes em dashes (—), en dashes (–), and spaced hyphens (-). While grammatically valid, these dashes:

❌ Can feel robotic or overly formal

❌ Disrupt reading flow in professional or conversational contexts

❌ Flag content as AI-generated to trained readers or filters

GPT Dash Deleter fixes that instantly by replacing all dash types with the cleaner, more conversational , (comma + space)` format.

✅ Features
🔄 One-Click Cleanup
Just click the extension and hit “Update Dashes.” All visible text on the page is cleaned in seconds.
