To hell with that. It will be a bad day when someone accuses me of using AI to forge original work—a bad day for

I just use commas or semi-colons where I would have previously used em dashes. It's annoying to have to adapt to avoid triggering people's faulty AI slop pattern matching, but the alternatives are perfectly fine.
