Gen Z has humorously identified the em dash as a telltale sign that text has been generated by ChatGPT, referring to it as the 'ChatGPT hyphen.' This trend gained traction following a discussion by podcasters Daisy Reed and Sapna Rao, who noted that improper use of the em dash could signal AI involvement in writing. While Rao doesn't oppose using ChatGPT, she encourages students to rephrase the outputs to make them truly their own to avoid detection of AI assistance.
