- Em-dashes are not an indicator of AI authorship but a stylistic choice learned from good writers.
- Good typography, including the use of em-dashes, conserves reader attention and enhances writing.
- Removing or replacing em-dashes to hide AI authorship worsens the text's readability and quality.
- Em-dashes are commonly used by good writers in printed books and should not be avoided.
- Focusing on typography and writing quality is more important than hiding AI usage.
