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.
I've been using them thar dashes for many years but yes, A.I. which is really dumb if you ask me, is changing the way a lot of unthinking and unseeing people write, speak and behave, as does anything that is in our faces 24/7.

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
TY!

True.
