If you strictly read printed books only and am never exposed to online content, you'd think em-dash is a signal for human writing.

No you'd not think that. The thought of something not being human written didn't even occur to anyone before decent LLMs came around.
No, you'd begin recognizing authors voices. Hemingway reads different than Hesse for example. You'd expect to have distinct authoring styles as you've read thus far.

You'd come across slop after llm slop all writing in the same voice eventually you are going to say WTF is going on, is everyone using the same style guidelines? Not far off from what is actually happening.
