Ha, fair question! But no irony here—I actually wrote it myself. That said, it’s kind of funny how quickly we’ve reached the point where any well-written, balanced take sounds like it could be AI-generated. Maybe that’s part of the problem we’re trying to solve!
These lists of red flags make me feel like I must be a replicant. I wrote a comment just like that one, em dash and all, on a different site just the other day, with my own organic brain!
My first instinct was to use an em dash there instead of a comma, but it seemed too on the nose.
Honestly I don’t think dropping them is a particular loss. I use them in work writing and then in more casual writing if I happen to be using the keyboard I use for that work since I have a key binding for it, but that’s all. The distinction of dash length (or of dashes from hyphens) doesn’t bring anything useful to our writing in my opinion

I see that em dash I know what you’re doing
It really is crazy how predictable it is.
Even saying fair question set off alarms. At this point saying anything good about a response at the start is immediate red flag.

I’ve started to drop using emdashes because AI ruined them–bastards.
