Another reason is that they deleted it very shortly after I asked if it's AI! But before that, I totally agree, the em dashes gave it away. A talented writer wouldn't rely on it so frequently; it should be used like rosemary. A sprig is special, a lot becomes off-putting. To the person who doesn't believe it's AI, please play around with Claude and other AI more if you think that was good writing. You'll impress yourself! (Weirdly it won't let me respond directly to the person who didn't get it!)
