The article has several em-dashes. AI uses them all the time and people never do

I use them all the time and I’m definitely not a bot. I’m also 50 so perhaps it’s a generational thing.

I'm 20 years younger than you and use em dashes all the time. Memorised the alt code for it on Windows 20 years ago.

I genuinely use em dashes all the time. I've been using em dashes since before I knew they were called em dashes
