They’re useful—especially to avoid over-using other punctuation such as semicolons; I also use them to avoid back-to-back sentences with exclamation marks!
I use them when connecting a thought in between another thought—for example, what I just did right now—and then returning back to the original thought. I use a semi-colon when connecting two related thoughts tougher; LLMs tend to only use one em-dash, so I’m hoping that by using two of them instead—and a semi-colon instead whenever an LLM would use an em-dash—there will be no confusion as to whether or not I’m human.

I like to alternate between sets of em dashes and sets of parentheses to obscure the fact that I’m using too many “asides” in my writing.
