No, not AI generated. I use em and en dashes all the time -- many of us older dudes do :). The book text contains a lot of EN dashes, not EM dashes, except in the page number footer on the first pages of each chapter, and in the About page.

I've just published my first book, Code Is Design, which discusses how the incorrect characterisation of software development as a construction rather than a design activity is the root cause of why so many projects run over time, over budget or fail altogether.

It's on Amazon in both Kindle and paperback formats.
