Ask HN: Why do LLMs use em dashes so often?

2•dwa3592•1h ago
Why is it that all of the LLMs by default use em dashes more than any other punctuation? Is it the versatility of em dashes? But even then how did LLMs decide that em dashes were the versatile punctuation marks. I have been reading aldaily for the last 11-12 years and I have not seen em dashes used that frequently. LLMs insert em dash in almost every long response.
