Emdashes are used by real humans who write, too.

I had actually never heard of emdashes until the whole AI thing and I just used hyphens instead. Now I'm embarrassed by my earlier ignorance and use emdashes -- and people think I'm an AI. I do put spaces on each side of them which I think is incorrect, at least.
