Those are some really good points. I don't think I personally used the em dash in my writing, but I wouldn't assume it was AI just because someone did. I look at the content more than anything and the writing style.
Unfortunately, few other people do. They see complex writing (again, being anything more complex than a text message) and they will think ai. A good comparison might be how if anyone does a complex math problem today, we might just assume they used a calculator. Actually today probably no one cares. But back in the day, I can easily imagine some people getting offended What?? I didn't use a calculator! How dare you assume that? I used a slide rule. haha ok that's a bit silly, but point stands I think. Any time we get a new technology there is an adjustment period where people don't like the new technology and therefore they start not only punishing people who use it but people who they think are using it too. Then after the new technology becomes normal, no one cares. But that adjustment period is always rough.
