There are actually good ways to try and detect AI-generated content, but the whole “em-dashes implies generated content” approach is intellectually lazy.

Yeah. Quotes is probably the weakest of all these signals. If you put U+1680 Ogham Space Mark between a number and the percentage sign, though… sketch. 😅 New game: insert weird Unicode everywhere into one’s typical usage patterns to trick people into thinking you’re a “user”. 😆
