> Anybody else being annoyed by all this focus on em-dash use to detect AI?

Yes, the “AI detectives” can be quite annoying, as the comments are always the same. No substance, just “has X, it’s AI”. The em-dashes detectives tend to be the worse, because they often refuse to understand that em-dashes are actually trivial to type (depending on OS) and that people have been using them on purpose since before LLMs.

Mind you, using em-dashes as one signal to reinforce what you already perceive as LLM writing is valid, it’s only annoying when it’s used as the sole or principal indicator.
