Android does let you produce em dashes. I'm typing this with Google Keyboard right now.
If you hold the hyphen button, you get options for an underscore, an em dash (—) an en dash (–), and the dot symbol (·). The ellipsis (…) can be written by holding the period button.
But yeah, the commenter admitted it was authored by AI. But even if you converted all the em dashes to "--", it would still have a ChatGPT cadence.

Even ignoring the em dash, it just screams ChatGPT.
I like how people are recognizing "OH THIS IS TOKEN OUTPUT", and that's like... the only thing you can come up with to refute the argument?
Like not the actual content or meaning of the text, which I chose to post, but the mere fact that it wasn't typed in to a keyboard directly in a hacker news text box, but rather pasted after using a tool to refine the verbiage.
Honestly? Great test for most posts. We live in a world surrounded by people who are just copy and pasting ChatGPT answers like a magic 8 ball, and I respect your instinct to try to avoid those.
But that's not how I use ChatGPT, because I understand how language models work and choose to use them intentionally to help me nagivate ideas and learn new concepts (as well as write memos after-the-fact). Not just take a hollow "sounds good" response and post it to take up people time.
I don't know about iPhone.
If you see these artifacts, it was authored in some other software (be it an editor or LLM) and pasted over.
