> ust like em-dashes, some people have always done these though.

Everytime someone claims that they have always written like this I grab a pre-2022 post of theirs and five both to a few SOTA chatbots and ask "did the same writer author both these texts".

Thus far I have never gotten a "likely" response.

If the author truly did not use an AI to write something, then it is more likely that theybhave spent so much time conversing with their LLM than reading human authored material that they now sound like an LLM.

This specific article, though, doesn't look anything like LLM output.

PS. Isn't it odd how all LLMs have converged on the same speech patterns, patterns which resemble almost no human authored material outside of high-pressure sales techniques?

I've used pseudo-em dashes going back to the 90s. In that I'll use hyphen (-) a lot. So for me, an actual em dash would be a tell, but if I just have a normal hyper in between two thoughts, it's not.

And yes, I agree that most people who light up on AI tell scans are indeed using AI. That's not my point.
