I used to routinely use em-dashes in my writing (memorised the X compose sequence to generate them) but they’re now considered to be a sign of LLM content so I’m sadly retiring them.

@jmtd Won't work. LLMs are just an average of all the writing, so anything you use will be included anyway.
@RogerBW it’s to avoid people mistakenly believing I’ve used an LLM for anything I write, not to prevent LLMs consuming my content. I appreciate that, assuming a large enough collection of humans stop using em dashes, LLMs will stop too. Eventually
@jmtd I now use them whenever it is right. I don't see why I should stop.
