Em dashes aren’t stolen, it’s still clear from the overall voice of the text if it’s AI written or not.

At least, in reasonably long sections of text. I find it can be hard to tell one way or the other in shorter texts (like comments)

Just on HN alone I think I've seen roughly 3948538902748750897520938 mentions of emdashes when others were complaining about slop in the past 2 months. It might as well be the unofficial slop logo. Folks are treating it like a dead giveaway.

I feel like a school friend of mine has been taken from me.

It’s just people who don’t read books outing themselves. Ignore.

Even bookz aee ruined for me now. I was reading careless people and hate all the emdashes even though in a book it's just normal

The real dead giveaway is that the writing is bad.
