We know, this is not an attack on em dashes.

It’s still ai slop.

I use em dashes all the time myself, I also make this critique and people always respond with a defence of em dashes.

Its the use patterns on how and when they are used combined with other patterns that makes it evident that it is AI. Its just the most easily recognisable tell. When you see over use of em dashes in a an article online, you check for those other tells.
