The em dash is useful but when used the way GPT tends to use it, it has a certain combination of perky informality and pedantic attention to detail that I find very irritating

I feel similarly about almost all these traits of the standard GPT style. It distilled the average of all English writing, which turns out to be the American middlebrow, business-casual style of mediocre prose found on blogs, op eds, ad copy, high school essays, etc.
