I frequently use em dashes. It's too bad AI has muddied the literary waters with the overuse of it. Of course, it has muddied much more than that -- things we're not even aware of. We'll find out soon enough, I'm afraid.

the moment i saw the title of this i wondered if it was about ai.. i currently have a saved memory in my gpt that says:

"Wants me to keep em dash usage to a minimum and not default to it unnecessarily"

i think it really sucks too, but its also a dead giveaway that ai wrote something.

another glaring tell is when you see stuff like:

"its not x.. its y."

or

"they arent x.. theyre y."

etc
