I add em dashes to everything I write now, solely to throw people who look for them off. Lots of editors add them automatically when you have two sequential dashes between words — a common occurrence, like that one. And this is is Chrome on iOS doing it automatically.

Ooh, I used “sequential”, ooh, I used an em dash. ZOMG AI IS COMING FOR US ALL
