As a type nerd, I was very happy with Grammarly swapping my dashes to em dashes. But now everyone associates em dashes with AI, I can no longer enjoy that luxury.

Obsidian has a Community plugin called “Smart Typography”[1] which was updated 4 years ago. That is one of my very few default plugins. I want my quotes curly, em-dashes corrected, and arrows shown as arrows.
These are also my defined rules in Grammarly (might be moving to LanguageTool).

I wonder how many people change how they express themselves just to sound less like AI.
I've been a regular users of the em dash for years before it became associated with AI output — and I refuse to let that change me!
I've always used the double-hyphen for m-dash -- it's a carry-over from learning to touch-type on a typewriter.
Hopefully that's enough of a distinction...
