Forget all your technical and language analysis when trying to determine whether something has been written by an AI or a human.

My question to you is: Does any human actually know how to type an Em Dash?

I certainly don't.

ALTGr - - -

That's on my desktop system (Fedora). Note that it's THREE dashes!

On my Pi, the international escapes are different and I haven't worked out what to do there. Maybe I should ask an AI

It's hard to find a keyboard layout map for alt-graphics for Debian/Ubuntu and virtually impossible for Raspbian. I can get right-alt (ALtGr)--- to come out as Yen symbols (¥¥¥), but cannot find en or em dashes on the Pi.

The no-name keyboard i am using has an actual backslash key, though.
