Y'all need to relax about a punctuation mark that Markdown does when you hit dash twice.

LLMs didn't invent the em dash. It appears in the chatbot because it appeared in normal text.

The fact you haven’t seen it and that it’s so common in LLM output just means there’s a huge amount of the internet you don’t look at. That could be a good or bad thing—depending on your perspective.
