Sure, but plenty of journalists use the em-dash. That’s where LLMs got it from originally. It alone is not a signature of LLM use in journalistic articles (I’m not calling this CTO guy a journalist, to be clear)

Context is everything. In publishing it’s standard; in online forums it’s either needlessly pretentious or AI and either way they deserve to be called out.

When I mean “nobody uses it” I mean nobody other than people getting paid writing for a living would use it. This tech bro would not use that em dash and the quotation marks you can’t also find on the keyboard.
