Damn she had AI write it

Humans just use dashes - they get the point across and don't require esoteric button presses.
I use a keyboard layout, where they are easy to type — this does not make me a llm.

No, it makes you wrong.

You people think em dashes are proof of AI?
Jesus Christ that’s so fucking sad.
You are vastly underestimating the amount of people who don't use em dashes at all.

There is a wrong keyboard layout?

How the hell do you even type an em dash?
I'm sure it's possible (I know it's easy on a touch keyboard), but if the person who sent it has never used em dashes in their life, then it's pretty definitive proof. Otherwise, it's just a big clue that you might combine with other factors.
On a mobile phone it's super easy. Long press the hyphen button and swipe over to the dash.
On Mac it's pretty easy still, but requires a little more knowledge. Option-shift-dash. (Without the shift gives you an en dash.)
On Windows it's the completely arcane alt-0151, and only possible if you have a numpad. I memorised it like 15 years ago and have regularly used it since, but it's hard to blame people for not doing so.
No idea about Linux.

All QWERTY-based layouts.

I don’t have a good sense of this since I am a trained writer. Is it really so low that one would reasonably conclude an AI wrote something with them?

My keyboard does not have an em dash and I have never seen one that does.
Still sus.

the actual emdash symbol isn't really something you can do when texting from your phone

Em dashes and emojis
I actually like using em dashes because it's the correct thing to do. Also the Oxford comma, correct use of semi colon, and listing things in threes.

Or she actually cares about ponctuation. And that's a lost for you.

If it's not on the keyboard, it must not be that important to use.

Well at least you're safe from suspicion.

As if breaking up over text isn't bad enough by itself.

Dvorak. It's a person's name, so only the first letter is capitalised.
Anyway, that article uses a lot of words to come to...basically no conclusion whatsoever. I don't know why anyone would link it when trying to make any sort of a point.
