the em dash thing is interesting. I definitely notice that, but also feel like it's a recent phenomenon.
a few things that i notice it tend towards which I have to weed out and slowly train it not to do ... (including the dashes):
It sucks at structural tension. It can identify a key idea and "reveal" but it almost always drops it waaay too soon for my liking.
For whatever reason, it seems to have a tendency to break up content into distinct sections (often using a solid line to break the text), rather than writing in a way that naturally transitions from thought to thought.
For awhile it would overuse certain words ... the one which always came up was "enigmatic" -- like, I don't believe I've ever written that word naturally, but it kept popping up.
There are probably other average phrases it tends to insert ... but I'm pretty sure my process of teaching it my own writing has ironed out those tendencies (it's even getting better at naturally building structural tension toward ideas).
One of my favorite old obvious tells was "i hope this email finds you well" whenever I asked it to write an email (doesn't do that for me anymore, thank goodness).
