First I’ve heard of em dashes being an “AI” thing. Aren’t LLMs trained on human-generated text? They wouldn’t be outputting em dashes if humans didn’t also output em dashes.
The badly-drawn hands thing is frustrating because any artist can tell you it’s not so easy to draw realistic/accurate hands. So, sometimes you might see genuine art with “weird” hands, and it’s painful for the artist to be accused of using AI.
Yes, but most human em dashes are from writing going through relatively professional processes, not, say, writing a comment online. Of course, there are many — like myself — who know how to type them quickly, and choose to use them, but LLMs are definitely a lot more eager to use them than the average person.

I heard of it from this video

It’s just one of several tells. Although you can’t really rely on anything. Just like “badly-drawn hands” is less likely to show up now.
Once I heard this, I had to learn how to type them, btw!
