I used to use em dashes earlier in my chats or titles for articles or Social Media Posts

But since last year the ChatGPT & CLAUDE content started flooding online.... and aggressive usage of em ( — ) dashes by AI in response

Kinda scared to use it now, cause real content or legit posts also get tagged as AI written as em dash shows up

Same with emojis also... earlier Github commit used to use feat() and now all repos cleaning their readmes and commit rules removing emojis from their old traditions...

Forced to use hyphen now , with the unsaid norms....
