I have nothing against em dashes. As long as your writing is human, experienced readers will be able to tell it's human. Only less experienced ones will use all or nothing rules. Em dashes just increase the likelihood that the text was LLM generated. They aren't proof.

That nuance is lost on the majority of anti-AI folks who’ve learned they get positive social reactions by declaring essentially everything to be AI written and condemnable.

“An em dash… they’re a witch!”… “it’s not just X, it’s Y… they’re a witch!”

Evidently there are no experienced readers who post AI accusations.
