It’s not that em-dashes necessarily indicate AI — it’s that it’s written in an AI voice.

    I have people questioning if my posts elsewhere are AI (even shit from like 2017), because I sometimes use "It's not x, it's y" as a format but that's because my first language is Chinese and "不是x，而是y" is a perfectly normal way of phrasing things.

    AI voice is actually just the voice of the millions of non-native English speakers that were mined for human reenforcement during training.

    For me to peg it as AI, there needs to be a reason for existence (ad, propaganda, trolling, etc.), and at least 3 of the markers. Em-dash, rule of 3, "not x, but y", excessive emoji, or a clean conclusion sentence/paragraph.

    Also no edits! No one ever edits an LLM post.

    There's another marker which is vaguer but really hard to miss once you get the sense for it: punchiness. Can't really give any clear examples but it's when it'll do a series of terse sentences, using "strong" words to make them land harder. "One crack, many impacts" when describing how thunder rolls.
