We pull back the curtain on the AI obsession with Em dashes, exploring how prestige bias in training data and safety constraints shape model output. Learn why the next-word predictor treats a dash as a cheap, universal connector—costing no keystroke friction—versus a human’s labor, and what that reveals about how these models think. A practical deep dive for writers, developers, and curious readers into the future of AI-generated prose.
