To be fair, I really don’t see em dashes that commonly. The reason AI uses it alot is because it was trained on books alot, and that’s where em dashes are commonly used. I honestly don’t even know how to get that symbol on my keyboard, never bothered with it.
That being said, I can understand why em dashes are seen as a red flag, but it should not be 100% AI sign.
Another thing that sometimes triggers my spidey senses are lower and upper double quotes that you normally only get in word, but Apple made it a function and now some people just use them naturally, even tho, again, I don’t know how to get them on my android or PC (never bothered to)
All you have to do is remind these people the reason LLMs use em dashes so much is because humans do.
