OMG, em dashes are not a sign of AI writing!
I kept hoping this myth would burn itself out, but no — the idea that em dashes are a sign of AI writing just keeps spreading. I finally couldn't take it anymore, so I crashed a segment into the latest Grammar Girl podcast.
The whole thing seems to have taken off after a popular GenZ culture podcast advised people to stop using the “the ChatGPT hyphen.” (And I have to confess it kills me that they didn't even know the name for it.) 🧵

1. A meme showing Alan Tudyk as the character Wat from the movie "A Knight's Tale" dressed up in medieval clothes. In the movie he said, "It's called a lance ... hello!" Here he is saying, "It's called a dash ... hello!"
