    I mean most people are going to use their phones to write messages and given you can’t physically type an em dash it would be normal to be suspicious if you see one.

    Edit: turns out you can physically type them. Still, given that it’s not normal to use them it’s a sign in my book.

        Ok. You can physically type them I concede, but normal humans don’t use them. Still a sign.

        I would bet that the amount of non proof writers that uses em dashes goes up just because people see that it’s associated with ai and want to be funny.
