It's not the robotic sound or the content. 4o has very easy tells that it wrote (rewrote) the content. It uses an insane amount of em dashes.

That's discomforting. My practice of sprinkling em-dashes like salt on a salad dates from my early days on various video game communities' forums. They comfortably mimic interrupted speech in writing. I hope I won't have to soon defend myself against accusations of AI usage just because I belong to the minority that read The Punctuation Guide[0] or a related resource.

It's really the em dash along with superfluous language. I suspect you are fine. Models like 4o have a very specific pattern when folks don't specify their writing style.
