We have all recently heard that if a piece of writing has been created using AI, then apparently it is likely that it uses em dash punctuation frequently.
...
Em-dash was always the wrong typographical answer, anyways:
nonbreaking-space, en-dash, nonbreaking-space: that is the right answer.
You’re trying to depict 2 things, simultaneously, through the convention: separation for the subset-of-words between the dashes, from the enclosing-sentence, AND connection, that it’s related, it’s just a subclause.
So, some do the aweful no-space/dash/no-space thing, which shows connection, but not the partial-independence…
etc.
Try different variations, & see: nonbreaking-space, en-dash, nonbreaking-space works typographically, convention/instituted-habit be damned.
