A giveaway for detecting AI-generated text is the use of em-dashes, as noted in op - you are caught bang to rights!

Some keyboards and operating systems — iOS is one of them — convert two dashes into an emdash.

I can’t wait for my keyboard to start auto-completing “Your” with “are absolutely right!”

In this case Apple has cared about typography since its very beginning. Steve Jobs obsessed over it. The OS also replaces simple quotes with fancier ones.

I do the same on my websites. It's embedded into my static site generator.

Agreed that is useful, despite the unintended consequences of dash meddling.

Not long ago, a statistical study found that AI almost always has an 'e' in its output. It is a firm indicator of AI slop. If you catch a post with an 'e', pay it no mind: it's probably AI.

Uh-oh. Caught you. Bang to rights! That post is firmly AI. Bad. Nobody should mind your robot posts.

I'm incredibly impressed that you managed to make that whole message without a single usage of the most frequently used letter, except in your quotations.

I did ask G'mini for synonyms. And to do a cursory count of e's in my post. Just as a 2nd opinion. It found only glyphs with quotation marks around it. It graciously put forward a proxy for that: "the fifth letter".

It's not oft that you run into such alluring confirmation of your point.

I apprEciatE your dEdication to ExclusivEly using 'e' in quotEd rEfErEncE, but not in thE rEst of your clEarly human-authorEd tExt.

I rEgrEt that I havE not donE thE samE, but plEase accEpt bad formatting as a countErpoint.

Finally a human in this forum. Many moons did I long for this contact.

(Assuming you did actually hand craft that I thumbs-up both your humor and industry good sir)
