I use alt+0151 for em dashes and alt+0150 for en dashes, or if I’m in Word or Outlook I use its autocorrect to trigger them (“word - word ” turns into an en dash while “word–word “ turns into an em dash).
But now I’m starting to avoid them. I’m just glad AI hasn’t ruined semicolons yet (especially since I’m using them sometimes to replace em dashes).

I have a script that turns this – into this — on my computer, but tbf I’m probably an AI so that tracks.
Honestly might want to consider stopping using the script now. Double hyphens seems more human, at least for the time being
what percentage of my body needs to be microplastics to be considered artificial? because we all might be AI
