      Real people use em dashes — the models were trained on real human output after all — so this new crusade against em dashes as the Mark of Beast for AI has always been and continues to be silly.

      I use em dashes…I think it’s sad that a proper grammatical construct is so thoroughly ignored by most people that now it’s a sign of inhumanity.

        Sure, but it’s also in the tone, language and grammatical structure. After you know what you’re looking for, you can feel whether it’s AI written.

        For what it’s worth, I’d be cautious about using em dashes; people basically associate it with AI without exception.

        Even when I use a document editor, and it sometimes 'auto swaps" a dash for an em-dash, I’ll undo it. Just because I wouldn’t want to be perceived as copy/pasting something.
