AIs learned that from humans because it's a normal, common bit of punctuation they see frequently.

AIs also use the word "the" frequently.

Friendly reminder that em and en dashes were part of English well before ChatGPT was launched. Anecdotally, I’ve been using them forever and English isn’t even my native language.

Also, a lot of programs autocorrect dashes to em-dashes.

I use em dashes, but always as two hyphens.

I think this notion that em dash always means chatgpt is an overview correction.
