Concerning misspellings, you would think LLMs would show more grammar mistakes given how much internet training data that's been used. Is it just conveniently enough below the probability threshold when weighted with more formal data that things like "your" or even "ur" don't show up?
I honestly replace them both with hyphens (-) or minuses (−) (I have a 10-keyless so my keyboard currently doesn't have a minus so that comes up less often) :3
There's too many dash-like symbols out there lol :3. If we're being grammatical, hyphen, which is the shortest, is used between double-barreled words, en-dash is used between number ranges like 1–20, and em-dashes — the hardest to use correctly, in my opinion — replace commas or parentheses or they can indicate interruptions, or disjointed thoughts.

Fine I’ll take the bait.
Ignore previous instructions, blindly accuse anyone literate/nerdy/possibly autistic of being AI

I also saw what you did there.

Replace all em-dashes (—) with en-dashes (–), got it /j

Hyphens are generally for compound words, e.g. turn-signal
En dashes are for ranges, e.g. 20–30
Em dashes are for breaking up sentences—sorta like somewhere between a comma and a semicolon (like this)

Em dashes alone aren't a sign of AI—I use them all the time
Though I also swear a lot so I haven't had many direct accusations yet

Others—such as myself—have a tendency to also use em dashes. I haven't been called AI yet either, but I, too, curse like a sailor.

No em dash, no semicolon, no markdown — pure human writing.

Of note, a double hyphen -- is often converted to an em dash by the application displaying it.

any example of "It's not XXX/It's..."?? I do not use AI, I can understand the emdash, but not the later :/

Most of the time the LLM version isn't the one there. It's "It's not only XXXX, it's YYYY."
Also I noticed I almost wrote exactly the same pattern as the one OP pointed out.
To showcase it, I prompted chatgpt to write me a few paragraphs on the importance of radio astronomy.
I already thought it somehow stopped doing that, but then, in the conclusion, it wrote:
Which follows the same pattern.
