A recent study analyzed over 146,000 U.S. congressional press releases from 2021 to 2025 to detect stylistic traces of large language model (LLM) usage. Researchers observed a significant increase in the frequency of unspaced em-dashes, a stylistic feature common in prose but unusual in U.S. press writing, particularly in 2025. This rise, which occurred after the widespread adoption of models like ChatGPT, suggests a growing influence of LLMs on official communications, though the study notes it is a population-level marker rather than a definitive authorship detector.
