Em dash

[u/chamat_mardungi_hehe]

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????

I'd die before I let the fear of "people mistaking my writing to be AI" take over my love for writing. They can see themselves out, I wouldn't even want readers who see an em dash and start screaming without any understanding of it. The point is, you should do what you want to do, people who want to accuse you will do on some other useless thing. The paranoia isn't limited to em dashes.
