Does AI use double hyphens? I thought the point was to find who wasn't AI that used proper em dashes.

Anytime I do this — and I did it long before AI did — they are always em dashes, because iOS/macOS translates double dashes to em dashes.

I think there may be a way to disable this, but I don’t care enough to bother.

If people want to think my posts are AI generated, oh well.
