Carlos Collazo on why he still uses em dashes despite the symbol being associated with AI output.
If an em dash is the only thing preventing someone from thinking your writing has been spit out of Chat GPT I think you have bigger problems.

@amoroso My writing can be distinguished from that of a chatbot by my getting to the point a lot faster and more concisely. Also, the profuse expletives and open rage are a clue.
@amoroso Saame.I am *not* giving up my beloved em-dash.
@melindrea And besides, the same could be said of emojis but people still use them.
@amoroso Yeah, the amount of posts automod (on discord) that has gotten blocked because "spam content" which a) we *know* were made by people and not intended to be spam and b) only thing we could figure out made it "suspected spam" was the emoji ...
There *are* some tell-tale signs ... but a single one of them isn't enough. You can't go "there's em-dashes!" or "there's emoji!". But the more "signs" ... well, the likelier it is >.>
