I used iOS to write my comment. It adds curved apostrophes automatically. macOS does too.
The em-dash was me — you can long press on the dash button and you get the choice.
Also, next time? Maybe consider that you might be wrong, and you’re responding to an actual human. Who spent half an hour or so writing a comment to share what they thought was an interesting anecdote. And who is now feeling a bit rubbish.

Going back to your comment about AI, teachers have seen a huge increase in the use of em dashes over the past year, so they have been forced to become computer language forensics experts (unfortunately). Just to clarify, I'm not against AI or people using it, I'm against conspiracy theories.
