This is an AI writing tell: "It's not just x—it's y."

It's an AI writing tell that was copied from so many of us who use it.

Literally no one use that construction with an em dash unless they are using AI to write their copy.

I loathe every cheap throwaway comment like this.

Know who else uses punctuation? People who write. In fact, that's where the AI got the idea.

To be fair, “not just X—it’s Y” showed up in product marketing way before AI started parroting it. Just saying. :)

Indeed. Marketers took the time to find the key combo that places an em dash. No one else does that. Except AI.

It’s not just a typographic choice—it’s a tell!

Pretty much everything that is professionally published does, and lots of people who care about typography do, that.

False: I do that.

Not even in marketing.

"Use smart quotes and dashes" is even one of the options on the MacOS keyboard input sources settings.
