I have always enjoyed good punctuation. And being a bit of a nerd myself, I used em dashes throughout University in my essays. To me it felt like a cool little keyboard shortcut that only few knew about. I still use them today—in emails and reports. I haven't yet been personally called out for using AI, but I have noticed a lot more people using them.

So what if people use AI to help them with their grammar and punctuation. At the end of the day, people are still sending messages they endorse—even if it's not one they could have articulated without some help from AI.

Like so many things in life, it's about how you use the tool, not about the tool itself.

I have an employee who uses AI to write regularly, despite vehemently denying using it. An em dash is a key to me that they used AI to write something (and bullet points to some extent). At the end of the day, I really don't care if someone uses AI to smooth out their writing or help organize thoughts. This employee though, will come up with a document or letter that sounds great and is well composed, but fails to address what they actually are supposed to be writing about.

I don't care if you use AI, just use it as a tool to help you do your job instead of having it do your job for you.

Yup, I use AI sometimes to correct my writing because I apparently suck at it and I was not aware. Whoops.
