it is a sudden break that gives the emphasis i want. a comma just doesn't cut it, let alone a colon or semi-colon.

Em dashes are a specific punctuation with a specific function, and they’re not misused by most authors or GPT; LLMs overuse them but it’s not wrong just not something we are used to seeing in blog posts and company emails.

it does make me wonder if chat was trained on large sets of undergrad papers written by ADHD folks. but if that were the case, it would be using them like god intended: for semi-tangential, parenthetical interjections in the form of mostly-complete thought structures.

Same—semi-colons and other punctuations just don’t have the same oomph!

I grew up writing and i have been using the em dash since the 6th grade. Now, someone sees an em dash and yells that you're using AI. Writers being accused of AI in 2025 is like being accused of witchcraft in 1692 I stg..

90% of mine are interruptions lol But also, I’ll die on the hill that commas don’t always provide the necessary drama required of that pause.

I use em-dashes to help distinguish voice in characters. I could use other punctuation, but the characters I use them for call for an elevated sense of drama. Where, as for more reserved characters, I don't use them at all.

commas indicate some sort of fluidity, em dashes convey abrupt, interjected thoughts

I’m only going to use em dashes. Nothing else. Will this be the worst grammer and punctuation? Yes, but it will be real.

I just use a period 😂 sometimes I'll make it a whole other paragraph. I love the chaos of the mind. The em-dashes and commas aren't good enough to scratch the itch.

I am using em dashes with the full knowledge that I’m probably using them incorrectly but I do it for the love of the game.
