I think Tim Minchin, in his prime coined the saying: Alternative medicine is either:

1. Medicine that has not been proven to work Or
2. Medicine that has been proven not to work You know what they call alternative medicine that’s proven to work? “Medicine”

The whole em dash argument is bullshit propagated by LinkedIn lunatics with zero knowledge of AI, writing or typography.

Different types of dashes/hyphens have different uses. People who take care of their copy and understand the nuances of punctuation use em dashes regularly. People who are in a rush, typing on phones or simply who don’t know any better, put the same en dash everywhere.

Em dashes is one of the things that LLMs actually do right for a change. Calling text with em dashes weird, unnatural or ai generated is like making fun of someone for using proper grammar or hygiene.
