Oh no! I’d been noticing an unusual amount of em dash discussion recently, but hadn’t investigated why. In college my professors would accuse me of plagiarizing my essays because I wrote so much more competently than I spoke. Now I’m going to be accused of employing AI for one of the few practices I find too enjoyable ever to source to an LLM. Oh well.
All of my reddit profiles now admit I am a bot because of this myth - also I believe we are all bots.
It’s a flag. On its own, it doesn’t mean that the content was synthesized by AI, but if there are a number of these flags together, then chances are high.

No singular red flag means much in isolation, but it’s a signal that when combined with others can give a pretty good prediction.
