The EM Dash and Ai

Someone told me recently that the tell-tale sign something was written by AI is the use of an em dash — this thing right here.

Most people probably don’t even know what they are, or the keyboard shortcut for them. But I do. I’ve been using them for years. I even had an art gallery back in Australia called kind of — gallery, and the em dash was literally part of our branding. I just like them.

So, PSA: if you see em dashes on my site, I typed them.

..and yes, sometimes I use AI to make sure I’m making sense, but all it does is hand me my own em dashes right back — FYI.
