You people think em dashes are proof of AI?

Jesus Christ that’s so fucking sad.

You are vastly underestimating the amount of people who don't use em dashes at all.

They don't but the word processing software they likely use autocorrects them in. What's next, proper semi-colon use and Oxford commas means you're a bot?

I've seen more proper use of the semicolon and oxford commas than em dashes. The em dash is a lot more esoteric, that won't change.
