It's often seen as a sign that a piece of text is AI generated, given how commonly AI likes to use it, and how inconvenient it is on most keyboards used by humans.
Great point. Does anyone know why the AI wants to hit us with the em dash? I asked the AI if they got the idea from Strunk and White, but they denied it.
"The Elements of Style by Strunk and White discusses the em dash, defining it as a mark stronger than a comma, less formal than a colon, and more relaxed than parentheses, used to set off an abrupt break or interruption or to announce a long appositive or summary. However, the authors advise using it sparingly, only when a more common mark of punctuation seems inadequate."

Wow, this board has everything—never thought I'd see a reference to Strunk & White, as it rests on a shelf 12 inches from my head all day
I got it on the nightstand, but I never open it. It's there for when the internet goes down. For now I just ask the AI to quote it.
Hey, since you're the wary sort, whatcha think of this Charlie X decode? It feels pretty good but I can never tell if I got some paranoid tunnel vision.
