Link: I'm using em dashes—but I'm not an AI

My inner alarm bell also rang, when I first read that people were taking the emdash as a definitive sign of AI-written texts, and then stop reading or react even more drastically.

I use the emdash (–) frequently because, so I was told, at most of the places where I previously used the "normal" dash (-), it's wrong. And it’s been marked as incorrect by my grammar tools. Consequently, I’ve started to consciously use the emdash.

So, please don’t take this as an indication of AI-written texts. There aren’t any here – the AI only helps me with the translations.
