Yes, I do. It's just that since AI has come about the use of m dashes has exploded.

It's entirely possible for someone to use m dashes by themselves, or just maybe to use an AI powered translation or grammar check app, and that's fine.

But because I work with AI a lot "m" dashes, the term "load bearing", the "that's not just X, that's Y", etc. ways of speaking just signal heavy AI use to me. And usually the fact that I notice them and the author of a news article or post or whatever didn't, makes me suspect that the output was not re-read before posting.
