Because.. em-dashes? As many others have mentioned, ios/mac have auto em-dashes so it's not really a reliable indicator.

It’s so annoying that we’ve lost a legit and useful typographic convention just because some people think that AI overusing it means that all uses indicate AI.

Sure, I’ve stopped using em-dashes just to avoid the hassle of trying to educate people about a basic logical fallacy, but I reserve the right to be salty about it.

I find adding some typos and 1 or 2 bad grammer things lets you get away with whatever you want

Several things:

1) Em-dashes

2) "It's not X, it's Y" sentence structure

3) Comma-separated list that's exactly 3 items long

Proper typography and hamburger paragraphs are canceled now because of AI? So much for what I learned high school english class.

>2) "It's not X, it's Y" sentence structure

This is a pretty weak point because it's n=1 (you can check OP's comment history and it's not repeated there), and that phrase is far more common in regular prose than some of the more egregious ones (eg. "delve").
