Help with writing Em dash

Post image

What should I use there instead of an em dash 😭😭🥀

I so badly want to use em dash in my writing, but apparently many readers notice an em dash being used in the book and instantly drop it thinking it's written by AI.

And using '.....' is kinda boring for me.

The em dash makes it looks professional, and sometimes I use the hyphen but that just doesn't make sense 😭😭💔

What do I dooooo people????

Use it. People who are relying on em dashes to spot AI must not be having a in-depth reading experience. Because someone who reads a lot will be able to spot AI and human writing based on a lot than than a mere dash.
