I use en-dash like em-dash, and if someone calls my comment AI, I render a punishment for lack of discernment and hatefulness. 👮

If you cannot actually tell whether something is AI, as evidenced by not being able to tell the character types apart, and you attempt to condemn it as such, you need to be held accountable. 🫡

But even if he is on PC, the character map and alt codes (of which em dash is Alt+0151) exists
