I don't buy 'em dashes tell you something has been written by AI'. Some of us have just been bullied into using em-dashes by various editors over the years, even though in our opinion, a regular dash would work just as well to show people what we are trying to express.

My new #book came out yesterday, available in eBook & paperback. I self-published so I could make it cheap: £1.77 for the eBook, £6 for the paperback (£7.77 for both if you want 1 for yourself and 1 for a gift, eg, for an aspiring #writer, teamed with a notebook & pen) www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DPHCJ4TS

I was going to put the bat down and step away from the dead horse, but now that we've been quoted in the Guardian talking about the AI dingbats, I want to just say a couple of things about self-publishing and the value of $5,000.

When I was a buyer at a large indie, my rule of thumb was:
1 preorder: huh, let me take a closer look at this one
2 preorders: we need to stock this book
3 preorders: we should order enough to face this out
4+ preorders: this should be on front-of-store display
1 preorder: huh, let me take a closer look at this one
2 preorders: we need to stock this book

More detail: When booksellers get pre-orders, it's a quantitative and qualitative signal that there is like *something here* about a book. The avalanche of new books out there is hard to communicate if you're not in the industry, and pre-orders are one of vanishingly few signals. It is a real thing!
The thing about pre-orders: If you pre-order thru an indie bookstore (which generally doesn't cost you up-front!) it is HUGE for the lifeblood of the book, it is a boost to authors, the publisher, and the booksellers who steward this life. It's a little thing but it's meaningful should this inspire!
