You are not using em-dashes so you check out. Please proceed.

#12> but some people pointed out the use of dashes
That’s a stupid heuristic. I use those dashes all the time, I even have an AutoHotKey macro in Windows for en and em dashes, ellipsis and other characters.

#13The popularity and quality of AI is going to make that impossible in the future, if it isn't already. Some significant number of comments here will be from bots, they will be less and less distinguishable from human beings, and that number will only increase over time. None of these tricks and heuristics people use to try to spot AI will be useful.
And a significant (and also inevitably increasing) part of the human remnant of HN will prefer it because as far as they're concerned text generated from an AI is superior in quality to human interaction. They aren't here to interact with humans so much as consume a product.
Just teach yourself not to care. You'll never know, don't be embarrassed by it.
